CLUSTER IN HEADACHES
Among its features, a cluster migraine is characterized by an intense degree of pain. Clusters are actually defined as pains that happen in the head quite periodically, and which is interrupted by spontaneous remissions. There is still no known cause to cluster migraines. But one thing is certain about cluster migraine: the pain is quite intense and forceful. The attack usually happens in about fifteen minutes to three hours. The start of the attack happens very fast, even without the telltale signs of a migraine. But there are some people who have experienced cluster migraines that say that there are dark “shadows” that suddenly appear, indicating that a cluster migraine is about to attack them. These kinds of migraines are often mistaken for a brain tumor or multiple sclerosis – that is, until the patient gets diagnosed. The level of pain in cluster headaches is often greater and deeper than in migraines. For women, they have described the pain of cluster headaches as something that is even more painful than giving birth. The symptoms of cluster migraine is that it makes the eye droop, there is a tearing or lacrimation, runny nose and there are also less common symptoms such as facial blushing, sweating or swelling. There is also a behavioral pattern that is involved in cluster headaches such as restlessness, or the patient can’t be on one spot for a longer period of time. The patient also tends to avoid bright lights or sound that irritates his ear. The patient also suffers from nausea.
