Can anyone explain to me which is true and WHY if they are life-threatening [or can be if ...etc]
Thanks!

Well, I'm a long time migraine sufferer, keep up on the research, and I have never read anything that said they are life threatening. Stick with sites with academic or real medical backing (mayo clinic, NIH sites, etc) and you should be ok.

Perhaps even check out Diamond Headache Clinic. They've been in business for a long time in Chicago.

I can only tell you that the migrains I used to get (touch wood I haven't had one in over 6 months) were not life threatening. The real danger for me was the medication I took to control them and the after effects of the drugs (ie driving etc). I have never heard of them being life threatening except in cases where they were caused by brain tumors etc.
