Thanks for responding, guys, and thanks for the suggestions.
I had another cluster, today. This time I hyperventilated for about 25 min. I was spewing out saliva after 20 mintues--not a pretty sight.
The cluster vanished, but this time not without a trace. The episode occurred 5 hours ago and my body feels like shit. I've just come from my GP who recommended not hyperventilating since I also increase the carbon dioxide concentration in my blood or whatever.
I think I'll still hyperventilate at the next attack but I'll limit it to 5 or so minutes. Maybe my daughter did me a favour jumping on my back so early into the treatment, yesterday, and preventing me from continuing hyperventilating.
