I just discovered that I have cluster headaches and not sinus

I've had these headaches for years and until this morning I called them sinus but I took an evaluation test this morning at www.headachecare.com and it said they were cluster headaches. It's good to know what they really are even if I don't have a cure. I'm also glad to find this site where I can learn more.

I'm 49 years old and have suffered with these in cycles for probably 15 years. Sometimes they are more severe than others and sometimes they may last 20 minutes and others may last 3 hours. Taking 12 hour dimatapp tablets before I go to bed seems to help ward them off.
