Kit, You don't give enough description of Ginny's symptoms for anyone to even guess if she suffers from clusters. Do the attacks follow any pattern; set times, number of times a day, a well defined period of time? Does she pace, or bang or squeeze her head? Can she sleep during or through an attack? I would think you would have mentioned these things if she did. Although many of us were misdiagnosed as migraine sufferers, I would suggest that your doctors are probably right. Have Ginny take the Cluster Quiz on the left hand side of the screen. Arm yourself with all the information in this site, and, if you still think it is a possibility, then speak to your doctor. Don't know much about SVT, but I would think any heart condition would warrant consulting your doctor before trying any kind of treatment. Your logic about inhalation therapy makes sense, but I'm not a doctor.Hope you find some answers and some help!Lee
