I have had cluster headaches for 2 years and have dealt with a form of anxiety attacks for 12 years.
It seems that much of the medical info is linked (though I'm not sure what all of it means).
+Both seem to deal with a hyporesponsive hypothalamus.
+Both seem to have 'abnormalities of cerebrovascular autoregulation' (too much blood to brain?).
+Both have seasonal correlations.
+Both have sleep pattern correlations.
+Also, those who have migraines (also vascular), are 12 times more likely to develop panic disorders.
Do others have both of these conditions, and if so, have you found any study or notations about clusters and panic disorder?
God bless. Don
