Title: Big Question
Post by OwieMan on Jul 25^th, 2003, 2:34pm

I thought my cluster was over, because of some half assed headaches and a couple of days being between them.

Today I got conzonkered hard and my usuall hot towel and hot shower with the massager was NOT working and seemed like it was making me dizzy.

I got out and was unable to shake the dizzy feeling and just layed there on the bed feeling like my head was going to explode.

After a bit of this and the pain increasing to new heights I noticed that my hands and arms had a tingly vibrating sensation in them. It felt like fast waves of energy were going out of my arms...Someonewhat like being shocked with 120volt electricity, but not that extreme.

Has this happend to anyone else? I have gotten slightly dizzy and mildy nausious before with these headaches, but never the tingly sensation. It kinda worried me and made me wonder if they arent something else.

I havent just recently gotten these, its been going on for around 5 years, this is just the worst bout, so I dont think its anything life threatening.

Can't relate to that in any way shape or form.

Have felt a little nauseated during an attack, but never had the tingling sensation or dizziness.

Hope you find out what it is.

I have thrown up big time during some attacks over the years; but, I have never experienced dizziness or nausea (except immediately before heaving).

This sounds serious. I'd go to see your doc.
Tingling down the arm is a symptom of a heart attack.

Owieman, please don't wait on everyone to reply....call your doctor immediately. This is something he needs to be made aware of, and it needs to be checked out.

Owie, call your doc right away. I have gotten the tingling in my arms and fingers several times, but my doc has never believed it was related to CH. When you see the doc about it, ask for an MRA not an MRI, that was impressed on me at the convention. The MRA can show if anything like a TIA or stroke is going on.

Owieman

Get it checked pronto, no point worrying yourself and everyone here, but very hot showers can make me dizzy and tingly too. Also Imigran makes my hands shake a bit and feel sick, had you taken any Triptans before this happened?
