- Cluster Headaches Symptoms, Associated Issues & Triggers
Cluster headaches are a primary neurovascular headache disorder involving “groups” or “clusters” of headache episodes that occur over a certain period of time. Cluster headaches are more likely to occur in smokers and also in those who have a family history of cluster headaches. Cluster headache episodes occur in a particular way, with varying frequency, and have many associated issues that co-occur with them.

I'm 47 and these are so painful 😢. I'm really glad to have some answers.
Thank you! Very informative. I definitely believe mine are hormone related. I only started getting them around age 45. Always over my right eye and always late night early morning. They’re soooo painful, but they do get better once I wake up. They’re becoming less frequent now that I’m in menopause.
I am 39 years old. I am having cluster headaches. My DR has prescribed medication for everything else BUT cluster headaches. If it wasn’t 1 am, I would have forwarded this to her!! Thank you for your video ! Very informative.
I'm a very healthy 40 years old male and i'm into 2nd week of my episodes. I've been pain free for two years and it's now back. I guess it will take two or three more weeks to end this cyle. I just found that meds that with "triptan" (rizatriptan, sumatriptan, etc.) helps if you are quick enough to take it just as you feel the attack is coming. Water soluable ones take effect quicker. Hope that helps you.
@@emprheanI’m 37 years old and male. Started when I was in my 20’s and without fail, hits about 3-5 years between episodes. Good news, they say you age out of it-maybe. I’m pretty sure my dad had it and he hasn’t had one in decades
I'm 35 and have had them since I was a teenager. I just found out last year that if I feel one coming on I will chug an energy drink and it almost immediately goes away. I never drink caffeine but I always keep an energy drink in the fridge just for this, been a lifesaver because these cause some ridiculous pain
Thank you 🙏
mine lasted from sept 2001 to sept 2016.. they just suddenly stopped.. it was the weirdest headaches ever, some times multiple times a day and they would restart again at exactly the same hour and minute that they happened the day before .. i used to buy at the beginning very expensive drugs for it then after about a year i noticed that aspirin with caffeine from bayer or ibuprofen pills with caffeine did the trick for cheap..
I've had some really bad migraines before, but after seeing this, I don't think I can compare my pain level to what they experience. A really bad migraine for me is one that hurts pretty bad, but not unbearable, but just lasts for a long period of time. I had no idea cluster headaches were this severe.
I promise you cant.... I've had my leg get caught in a wood chipper and ultimately severed above what was once my knee and that pain came nowhere near just a single one of my cluster headaches. I'd literally give up my only leg left if It meant that I'd never have another cluster period occur ever.... Maybe that puts it in a little bit better perspective for anybody that doesnt know.
You have no idea what true pain is until you experience a Cluster !!!! I thought I was over it after five years but they are back. I hate going to bed at night.
Try getting in shower as hot as you can stand it with the stream hitting right on the pain point like eye lid. Get you face as close to the shower head as possible….
Mine are caused from occipital neuralgia I was diagnosed on the 3rd I’ve been in agony for a month. Migraines are horrible as well.
@@jillianohalloran try the shower. At very least it does make the pain less intense.
So true photophobia hurts alot
These are so painful
What do you do for it.
I started having these everyday for about 3 weeks. Turns out it was because i smoked too much nicotine from ecigs..i quit and after 3 days the cluster headache went away completely !!!
If your are suffering from cluster headaches ask your doctor for a medication call Topiramate 50 mg 1 at night and very important Magnesium L Threonate, hope this help someone like it helped me ❤
So I guess I have migraines and not cluster headache, because I have pain in or around one eye every while and it’s severe but it has no symptom of the cluster headache and I also have photosensitivity during the headache.
I always thought that these headaches were from high blood pressure, but when I explained the headaches to the doctor all of these things said I have cluster headaches. It’s the worst guys I promise.
Ugh these hurt so bad makes me nauseated and bedridden for days
In my case light exposure triggered them. Is it genetic.
Light didn’t trigger mine but it did make me extremely sensitive to light. I’d sit in a dark room
Why would you make a video about headaches with a bright white background lol I’m in hell
Finally someone feels my pain
Sorry mate, that sounds awful- but light isn’t a trigger for me
Yeah I don’t think light affects my headaches.
Afterall I get many of them while asleep.
Heat is a trigger for me.
I watched this squinting, with sunglasses on lol
Depressing conversation but how longs your longest headache season?? Unfortunately I've had mine since Halloween this year everyday once in the morning and 2 at night
Hang in there. Oxygen seems to work for me. Mine don't come that often, maybe a cluster once every 2 years.
I've been getting mine for years. I've finally got medication verapamil are helping. My headaches have been greatly reduced and the length of time have been reduced. I just hope and pray they find a cure one day so future generations don't have to go through this crippling pain
Mine last around 20-30 minutes. I found out last year that if I down an energy drink when one is starting it will go away within a couple minutes it's been a lifesaver. I don't drink caffeine because it doesn't affect me so i'm able to drink a Red Bull at 2am and go right back to sleep. You may not be able to do that at 2am though lol. I keep a Red Bull in the fridge only for these
Cluster headaches motivated me to get a vasectomy..
What does the two have to do with each other??? Serious question
WAIT‼️I'm having Clusters and I'm to Read this😂😂
Welcome to my life 😭😭dame rn
bro just try swimming and only eat nutritious foods and drink more water, trust me i was having these headaches for more than 5 years continuously, just try this method for one month hope you will get better ❤️
Ok now tell me solution plz
I've had them my whole life. Usually lasting 20-30 minutes but it's the worst pain ever I cant function at all until it's gone. I found out last year from researching that caffeine may help, I never drink caffeine but if I feel one starting I will down an energy drink and it will almost immediately go away after a couple minutes it's been a lifesaver.
👍👍🙏
I didn't get them till 60😢. Since I've had them I've had 4 days free. 4 DAYS!!! EVERYDAY I have 6-8 no Drs will Not take me. No meds. My Whole team dumped me. .I use Cluster headache Oil from Healing OilsRN its a MIRACLE 💥‼️
Could you supply a link please?
I always heard from experts on tv that cluster headaches were called that because they clustered around one side--mainly the eye.
Also, how are these different than Hemicrania Continua?
They are called clusters because they come in bunches. 80% of sufferers are episodic and tend to get 2-4 a day for a period of 4-8 weeks before going into remission for several months. Usually occuring around the same time of year each cycle. There seems to be exceptions around most of this information but that's it in a nutshell.
I got remedy for it, I had cluster headache but when I started 5 Times namaj 😮 There is no more headache permanently finished (it's easy for muslims)
