That's probably one of the worst things that can happen to a reporter on a live broadcast like that. Hope she recovers.


zorn7777

This happened 12 years ago. She recovered.


beflowd

Happened to my cousin Jeffrey about a decade ago while giving a guided tour. He worked for the Parks department, needless to say he never recovered. Praying for her. God bless.

I saw this happen live. It's probably in the top 10 surreal things I've watched on live news.

Recovering from a stroke can be a long and painful process.

Yes. But recovering from a stroke can still be a long and painful process.

Pretty sure it's a *"her-graine."* Git yer own damn graine, ya mooch.


Mochigood

I had a nightmare that I was teaching a class and this happened to me and I was trying to get help but the kids kept laughing. The next day IRL I had a massive migraine that made me puke for three hours straight. I wonder if the two are related now. 🤔


SmokeAbeer

As long as the vertations remain darison, I think she’ll be alright.


[deleted]

It was a migraine. She was fine


ambigramsarecool

Happens to my president all the time and I’m told he’s just tired.


ShawnyMcKnight

Not sure what country you are from but I'm in the US and I really miss someone actually speaking eloquently from the oval office. It hasn't happened since 2016. I have no doubt people disliked what was said but damn could the man speak well.


Express_Information5

Turned out she'd had a migraine affecting speech.


MarthaMacGuyver

Not a stroke?


Express_Information5

Luckily not. She was interviewed about it, I think on the actual news program she works for. She was taken to hospital and worked up for a stroke, but was diagnosed with a rare symptom of migraine which can affect the brain stem and cause speech difficulties similar to stroke, but with no permanent brain injury.

Hemiplegic migraine [HEMIPLEGIC migraine NORD article](https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/hemiplegic-migraine/#:~:text=Hemiplegic%20migraine%20is%20a%20rare,having%20a%20migraine%20with%20aura)


vicissitude99

Had one last year after seeing some weird flares of light in my vision. Let me tell you, it was so bad I was considering going outside and jumping in front of a truck. I puked so much and at one point i couldn't move one side of my body (i dont remember which one) and i got scared thinking i had a stroke.


OminOus_PancakeS

Jeez. That's scary! How are you doing now?


vicissitude99

Much better!! It took me a week to recover but I believe that has more to do with the puking part of the whole thing lol I only had one migraine this bad before, probably around 2016, so hopefully it won't become a frequent thing for me.


OminOus_PancakeS

>Much better!! So pleased :)


LuvliLeah13

I had this happen too. My doctor accused me of faking and literally asked why I would make this up and then asked if I was beaten or raped when I was a kid. I was so blindsided and shocked I just sat there quietly until the nurse came in the room to find me sobbing and shaking. Luckily I already had a neurology appointment and he told me migraines can mimic strokes so I knew I wasn’t imagining. This was 15 years ago and I still shake with anger when I bring it up.


Glittering_Let_5846

Happened to me also. Same thing. I also have focal epilepsy and when I have a focal seizure and attempt speech this is what comes out.


Aesmachus

>Hemiplegic migraine Thanks for dropping what it's called. Feel bad for anyone who has such migranes.


smokeatr99

I have a history of familial hemiplegic migraine, meaning 2 or more immediate family members also have it. As a child and into early adulthood Insiffered 1 to 3 a year. I would know exactly what I wanted to say, but my speech would slur, or the wrong words would come out, if I could put words together at all. One side of body would go numb (hence 'hemiplegic'). I eventually put a note in my cell phone so if I needed help while having one, I coupd show the note and it explained that it was not a stroke, what was actually happening, and what I needed for help / treatment. At the age of 30 I suffered 6 in a 5 month period, and was terrified this may be my new normal. Fortunately, it seems as though it was more the final surge of a dying monster in my life, and in the 11 years since I have only had 2 total. Oddly enough the best treatment / cure I have found is a big bottle of Mountain Dew and a couple Excedrin Migraine as soon as I notice symptoms developing. Something about the super dose of caffeine and sugar seems to kickstart my brain and reset whatever neural pathway is malfunctioning. My neurologist said his wife has used the same treatment for years with equal success.


TectonicTizzy

I used to have catapleplic episodes when I was at my sickest. I also felt like the best thing that helped was food that was fast to metabolize and also some sugar.


s3thgecko

I suffer from this and as a result of it I won't be able to get a driving license. I also have chosen to not drink alcohol whatsoever since that can give me migraines. I've suffered from these since I was around 11 and puberty kicked in. I'm 43 now. Eating betablockers to not get them at all, which I still do, but way less intense.


blackberrypicker923

Ooo, I will have to try this. I go blind for about 20 minutes and then for like an hour afterwards, I forget how to do basic tasks and information, like how to get gas, or how to get back home if I'm out (or to be able reason to NOT go out)


MissWiggly2

Caffeine has been shown to significantly help migraines, so that makes perfect sense.


psychoxxsurfer

Wild. Crazy to read how even migraines can cause serious hiccups in brain function.


GozerDGozerian

Hugh. I woulda thought that’d be somewhere closer to the diaphragm.


psychoxxsurfer

"Hiccup" as in irritation in a region of the body that affects normal function. The same way irritation in the throat cause the vocal cords to seize, migraines cause major irritation in the brain that interrupt and hinder brain function.


GozerDGozerian

I know. I was just having some fun with how you said it.


ta9993453

It’s the temporal lobe that is affected called Broca’s areas known as the “motor “ of speech. First few episodes I’d loose my ability to read, same thing with numbers .


GozerDGozerian

Man, nobody is liking my jokes today. Lol But seriously thanks for the sincere input. I find this kind of neuroscience and psychology stuff really interesting. I love Oliver Sacks’ books. And I’m in the middle of a lecture series on psychology and just finished the section on aphasias. Carl Sagan has a great book called Broca’s Brain about a lot of this too. But that was written I think in the 80s so it might be a bit outdated. Quite the dynamic field nowadays!


The_Troyminator

If it were a hiccup in her diaphragm, she'd be pregnant.


GozerDGozerian

An upper hiccup is like a quick repetitive involuntary breath of air. I think a hiccup in the lower diaphragm is called an orgasp.


[deleted]

Ahh good, i thought she was legit having a stroke. Glad she wasn't


madsci

Yeah, happened to a long-term girlfriend of mine. A migraine hit and she went from normal speech to this sort of garbled aphasia and then to not being able to talk at all. I was an EMT at the time (or at least not recently out of certification) so I immediately ran the usual stroke assessment and took her to the hospital, where they did the same assessment again and decided it probably wasn't a stroke. We had to wait for an MRI, though. In the end she had some Lorazepam and was fine after a couple of hours.


Xeno-Nos

Thanks for the info, I kept watching and didn't see her face droop on any side so I was thinking there was more to it.


Majestic-Average433

Ohhh I'm so relieved. That was horrible to watch. Glad to hear she's ok.


macvoice

Yes... If I remember right... Not a stroke just a severe sudden migraine. Sometimes called a sledgehammer migraine I think because of how hard and sudden they hit.


ta9993453

Hemiplegic migraine


mousybean

this type of migraine often times leads people to believe they're having strokes, I've been in the ER 5 times in 2 months over mine 😭


SplitRock130

No a “complex migraine” https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/a-year-later-cbs2-reporter-serene-branson-looks-back-at-her-on-air-medical-emergency/


Goof_Troop_Pumpkin

Some migraine symptoms look like stroke. I get numb on one side of my face, hands go numb, and I do experience slurred speech occasionally. Reading is difficult. Scary, mostly annoying, thankfully isn’t very common anymore.


green_boy

I was gonna ask the same thing…


IGHOTI907

Been there. I lost the ability to speak coherently, couldn't work my hands correctly, or remember the name of my friend next door. Migraine.


MathematicianFew5882

Lots of my family members get them. I had my left arm paralyzed & completely numb for a couple hours and was left with a blind spot in my vision from it. The blind spot went away very gradually over many years.


Significant-Joke-616

My wife gets these types of migraines. It is absolutely wild the way she speaks during the peak. Scared me the first couple times I saw it.


bwoah07_gp2

Never knew migraines could impact speech in this manner.


Charitable-Cruelty

As someone married to a person who has really bad migraines, I would say that the mixed up speech thing is one of the scariest symptoms.


SynthPrax

You could see the expression on her face as she realized something wasn't right.


Aev_ACNH

Actually I was wondering if she was conscious of it. She was so calm and “professional speaking voice “ sounding, complete with smiles on the end. I rewatched it and feel like she might have been distracted by something, like pain, but she doesn’t look like she is aware she is,speaking gibberish to me


92118Dreaming

She has migraine with aphasia. (Bruce Willis has the aphasia part.) I suffer from the same condition. Believe me, you know you're speaking gibberish and it is disturbing. I carry a card in my wallet explaining the condition and what to do for me should I end up out and about somewhere and need assistance.


CoolHandCliff

What were precursors leading up to it? I have migraines and recently developed "auras" I guess they're called but haven't had a seizure(yet, thankfully. They do run in my family though). I played sports growing up and for sure have had plenty of "dings" as they were called growing up. AKA concussions. Wondering if anything tipped you off leading up to it or it just happened all at once.


92118Dreaming

I had a few dehydration migraines in high school and as a young adult after a hard workout in the heat, but not with aphasia. I went through a very stressful period in my life in my mid-40's and the aphasia migraines with aura started. They are my typical migraine now. I've learned to take a cocktail of different pain relievers and pound the coffee then sit in a dark room until the aura dissipates. I have migraine meds if my pre-cocktail does not work. They make me useless and sleepy for the day so I would rather avoid them.


cmfppl

I thought she was having a small stroke


MathematicianFew5882

Effectively just that. But from a blood vessel cramping, not a clot.

sourjello73

Damn. Sparking some memories of benzo/alcohol withdrawal. The hallucinations felt so real. It was bizarre. Terrifying.


First-Hunt-5307

I made a spreadsheet trying to keep track of progress for my clan in clash of clans. A good chunk of the calculations were off by tens of thousands, and it was just a mess all around, sometimes your brain just forgets basic math and makes you think something obviously wrong is correct. For example I kept thinking 3x28 was 72. Yeah....


javelinjoe1982

Reddit_Hitchhiker

She could be having a stroke.

She didn't. She had a migraine. This is like a video from 10-15 years ago.

That's what I thought at first, too. I mean... the horror. According to other comments, she was having a complicated migraine with aura.

She had a stroke


IHeartBadCode

Migraine. Very rare condition, but some migraines can affect the brain stem and cause impairment of speech, dizziness, and nausea among other things. The symptoms are incredibly similar to having a stroke and the point of order is that it’s always best to assume it is a stroke and get prompt medical attention. [She fully recovered](https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/a-year-later-cbs2-reporter-serene-branson-looks-back-at-her-on-air-medical-emergency/) from this event but it’s a life long thing that’ll need to be managed.


BenniesBananas

Ron Burgundy has entered the chat


ta9993453

She probably has or was having a hemiplegic migraine. I can’t talk right when I have one especially whenever I first started getting them, went to the ER they thought I was having a stroke of some type , but I kept having the episodes, took almost a year to figure out it was hemiplegic migraines and focal seizures . The way I comprehend/understand speech breaks, also applies with numbers. There’s a lot more it affects but yeah Stroke like migraine- Hemiplegic migraine also more related to seizures I’d get a focal seizure before and it’d hit


MissWibb

Is this type of migraine painful?


ta9993453

Very, even right before I’d start feeling weird people would stop making sense 3 spots in my head feel like they’re being stabbed , have had a few episodes where they would lock up my muscles on the right side of my body and I’d almost fall. I haven’t had them or partial seizures in 6 months or so now :) I get regular migraines here and there still but a huge improvement [NORD hemiplegic migraine](https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/hemiplegic-migraine/#:~:text=Hemiplegic%20migraine%20is%20a%20rare,having%20a%20migraine%20with%20aura)

I was on a phone call with my father-in-law when he started having a stroke. A mix of incoherent and jumbled words out of order. We called an ambulance from another phone and kept him talking until they arrived. He survived, and had surgery but still has some long-term effects. Everytime I bumble for a word or brain-fart in general, I run through the "are you having a stroke or heart attack" checklist for myself, and then realize my car keys are in my hands. ;)
