When Pain Becomes a Pattern
Have you ever woken in the early hours with piercing pain behind one eye? Does it come in waves for days, weeks, even months. And then vanish, only to return again later?This isn’t your usual headache. It could be a cluster headache.
What Makes Cluster Headaches Different?
Cluster headaches are intense, one-sided, and often come with red or teary eyes, nasal congestion, and restlessness. Unlike migraines, they usually don’t cause nausea—but the pain can be even more severe.They’re rare (affecting around 1 in 1,000 people), often misdiagnosed as other headache types, and frequently misunderstood.
What Causes Them?
The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but they’re believed to involve the hypothalamus, your body’s internal clock. This could explain why they tend to strike at the same time each day, and during certain seasons. While the source may not be well understood there are several treatment options for both prevention and attack management.Want to Know More?
