Title: Carotidynia
Post by TonyYZF on Dec 17^th, 2006, 2:19pm

Hi fellow clusterheads and supporters,

Has anyone had a condition called carotidynia, and if so do you know if it is associated with CH.

Some symptoms are pain in the front side of the neck around the carotid artery, when you press where you feel your pulse in your neck it is very tender. You also may feel pain when you tilt your head to the opposite side and it may radiate to the ear area.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Tony

I have had the symptoms that you described during a cycle, but didn't know what it was called.

With me, definitely associated with the cycle.
