Hello July 21st!
Its nice to meet you, this dull pain you describe, is it continuous? is it like a burn or a pressure feeling? can you relate it to your ch symptoms in any way? I would speak to your doctor about it, if it isn't responding to OTC meds it could be any one of a number of things. I certainly wouldn't use triptans in case their vaso constrictive qualities caused even more problems. There are over 600 HA types, you need a HA specialist's help with this one
Let us know how you get on okay?
And lts see if there is anything we can help you with with your CH too!
Take care,
Helen

Are you pounding on your head with something. Either that or a sign of fatigue from your current situation. My head always hurt, in between hits too. Hope your doctor gives you good meds!! Nice to meet ya!

I am guessing your pain is a shadow. But on the other side.  Try a caffeine drink.
hope it does not get worse and do ask your doc huh?
