Last summer I had my first cluster headaches. I had no idea what they were, but my doctor immediately knew from the description that I gave her...felt like my head exploded on one side, stuffed up nose on that side, lasted about 1-2 hours each time, woke me up, several within a 3-day period about the same time each day. Just to make sure it wasn't something else, she ordered a CT scan and it found nothing out of the ordinary. I was very scared to go to sleep for a long time. However, I have been blessed not to have any more.
This past weekend, I've had what feels like mini clusters. The same side of the head. The same symptoms, must not as severe. It only lasts for a few minutes.
Has anyone else had something like this? Can this be something that leads up to biggie clusters? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
