Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

Antiphospholipid syndrom is an autoimmune state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. It is characterised by unprovoked blood clots (thrombosis) in both arteries and veins as well as pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and severe high pressure during pregnancy. It is sometimes associated with SLE or systemic lupus erythematosus. headaches and migraines are often observed.

Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back.
