Hello everyone, I'm a 28 year old male and have been suffering from headaches for about a year. My sister suggested they could be cluster headaches. The pain is always located in and around my right temple and eye. The headaches come and last about 20 to 30 minutes and then go away. I can useally expect 5 or 6 per day for 3 or so days and then nothing for weeks, then the cycle starts again. I have none of the other symptoms I've read about (red eye, swelling, sweating, etc.) The pain is quite bad but nothing like what I have read some people suffer(I have never been inclined to bang my head)although if I shake my head it seems to increase the pain. I've been to the doctor and he knows nothing about cluster headaches. Is there a chance my headaches could be clusters? Any advice anyone can off would be terrific. Thanks so much, Jake
