I found a medical journal article (from Sep 2000) that links sleep apnea to cluster headaches. I was wondering if anyone here has been tested for sleep apnea? The article said that 20 out of the 25 subjects who had cluster headaches were found to also have sleep apnea. They think it is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. What do you guys think?
