So, today I’ve have two auras. This is new for me. I normally have one every six months. They are followed with a dull head pains, but nothing severe. Anyone have multiple in one day? I have put a call into my doctor. They were exactly like my other auras I’ve had in the past, but it scared me that I had two today. I don’t think I have anything serious going on, but stroke or TIA is gnawing at me.
Multiple migraine auras in one day

I don't think it's abnormal though I don't think it's common either. I don't think it's a sign of a stroke though. I think the stroke/migraine relationship has been reevaluated in recent years and isn't as strong/direct as once believed. (I'm not a doctor, obviously, but I just started having migraines again so I've been reading about them recently trying to figure out how to keep them away.)

I went through a period of time, a couple years ago where I would get two to three auras a day for a few weeks. I have spoke to my doctor, and it turned out that it was coinciding with changes in weather as the seasons were changing. Point being, it does happen and things in the environment can certainly set it off. Good thing to check with your doctor but it’s not uncommon.
I started having auras about 12 years ago, after a traumatic pregnancy related health issue, long term bed rest, and subsequent loss of a baby. I had multiple auras in one day, which drove me to googling, dr visits, etc. I went through the gamut of CT’s, mris, mras, etc. Nothing found except a benign and harmless, but possible AVM in my brain. Fast forward and I have had auras every year since. Just haven’t had them multiple in day, with the exception of that very first time I had them and then I was under a huge amount of stress. That time was the very first time I had experienced heart palpitations as well. I would swear either the bed rest permanently altered some of the physical organs in my body or chemical imbalances from stress were altered in my brain and caused the palpitations and auras. I got back into great shape after bed rest, but it didn’t change anything about the auras or palpitations. I still have both.
About 6 months or so ago I had a day with 2 auras within about 90 minutes. I also had never experienced multiples and I’ve had aura with no headache (or minimal pain) for the past 25 years. I saw my optometrist who did a complete exam. All looked fine. He explained that migraine quality can change as we get older. Mine also had increased in numbers. My stress levels had been high at the time, and them along came COVID with all its lovely stressors. He said, no surprise, that stress can cause them, and they typically come a day or more after the stress event.
