I’m no expert. This is a kind of POV/PSA in which I describe the little known ‘Cluster Headache’…maybe helpful to those people who are experiencing this rare and really painful type of ’serial’ headache. They are dreadful, but it was a relief finding they are benign despite the intensity of the pain. I thought I was going to die from a brain hemorrhage until I accidentally read about my mysterious condition in a random magazine article. PS Thanks to all the YouTube-Clusterhead community! You get it…you REALLY get it! It is great to know I’m not alone: no longer do I need to have these monstrous headaches diminished by well-meaning (?) people who do not know what they are talking about. I honestly believe that experiencing the monumental pain of a Cluster headache has made me a stronger person: Anyone who can withstand this level of pain can endure anything.

Christian Goodman asked:


Nearly everyone will suffer a headache (or several) throughout their lives which do not have some sort of underlying medical condition causing the pain.  These headaches are Migraine, Tension and Cluster.

I’ve received a lot of feedback from my clients, telling me how much they’ve enjoyed my Migraine and Headache Relief program to cure both their tension and migraine headaches.  My program is all natural and requires no medication.

Some of you have asked me if my program can help treat cluster headaches.  Cluster headaches are the most rare of the primary headaches so I’ll first explain what each of the different types of primary headaches are in order to help identify which type of headache you might be suffering from.

A tension headache is described as pain in the head, neck and/or scalp.  It can feel like a band squeezing the affected area.  Over 80% of headache sufferers fall into this category.

Women suffer from tension headaches twice as much as men.  For most sufferers, the pain is tolerable and most can complete daily tasks while experiencing the headache.

Triggers include:  Depression, stress, anxiety, fatigue, lack of sleep and poor posture.  The headaches tend to last from 30 minutes up to a week.  They are diagnosed as either episodic (less than 15 days per month) or chronic (more than 15 days per month).

Most of us who suffer from tension headaches do not require medicine for treatment.  We can gain relief from the pain via deep relaxation and breathing exercises, like my Migraine and Headache Relief program.

Migraine headaches, however, are considered vascular.  This is an abnormal sensitivity of the arteries and the blood flow into the brain which causes pain in the affected areas.  This type of headache is the second most common of the primary headaches.

A migraine headache is caused by abnormal blood flow to the arteries which in turn causes the arteries to constrict and dilate improperly and then causes a throbbing, painful sensation on the affected side of the head but sometimes spreading to both sides.

Women are three times as likely to suffer from migraines than men.  For a few, the attacks are infrequent and not that severe but for most others, they are frequent and debilitating, meaning that the sufferer is unable to perform many daily tasks.  These headaches can last anywhere from 4 hours to 72 hours, however, they can occasionally last for weeks.

Migraine symptoms include:  Light and/or sound sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, an aura of “seeing spots” and sensitivity to smells - all of which tend to worsen with physical movement.

Triggers can include:  Stress, fatigue, changes in weather, some foods (red wine, some cheeses, chocolate), fumes, loud noises and in some cases, other headache medication.  Medicine is generally prescribed but most of the available migraine medications sport “rebound” headaches, which often feel like tension headaches.

Natural treatments include deep breathing and/or relaxation exercises or oxygen therapy.

A cluster headache is the least common of the primary headaches but is by far the most painful.  It has even been dubbed the “suicide” headache due to the fact that some with this condition have resorted to this as a means of dealing with the pain.

Cluster headaches get their name because the headaches tend to occur in clusters.  They will happen several times per day, lasting for the same amount of time and occuring at the same time per day.  They tend to linger for several weeks, will dissipate and then recur with the same frequency and intensity.

Cluster headaches are much more severe than migraine or tension headaches and often strike without warning on one side of the brain only (unilateral), with pain behind the eye of the affected region.  The pain tends to last an hour or less but the headaches strike several times per day.

The cause of cluster headaches is unknown but what is known is that the blood flows abnormally in the affected area, causing the blood vessels to dilate and this in turn puts pressure on the trigeminal nerve.  Sufferers of this type of headache generally find more relief from staying active, rather than motionless like with migraine or tension headaches.

Men are five times as likely as women to suffer from cluster headaches.  Other symptoms include:  drooping eyelid, watery eyes and blocked nasal passages.  In fact, many doctors misdiagnose cluster headaches as sinus headaches.

There are triggers for cluster headaches which include:  Fatigue or lack of sleep, sleep apnea, snoring, nitroglycerine, stress, smoking, alcohol, and some foods.  Just like migraines, cluster headaches are regarded as episodic or chronic.

There is a seasonal rhythm to most cluster headaches and many sufferers are affected during spring or fall.  As mentioned, the headaches generally happen several times a day at the same time of day, with many activated during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.  This is why some sufferers will try NOT to sleep to avoid the headache, but that just keeps the cycle going.

Several studies have been performed on cluster headache sufferers and one common theme has come forward - sleep apnea and excessive snoring seem to be the most common trigger.  These both involve not getting enough oxygen to the brain.  When these conditions were treated, researchers found that most of the time the cluster headaches subsided.

In order to diagnose this type of headache your doctor should perform a physical examination as well as medical history since some cluster headaches are genetic.  The doctor may also run a CT or MRI to rule out a secondary condition causing the headache.

While most often prescribed to treat the problem, most pain medication is only preventative - it won’t prevent the headache.  The preventative medicines that do exist tend to come with potentially serious side effects.

One effective treatment once the headache has begun is oxygen therapy.

My completely natural Migraine and Headache Relief Program incorporates additional oxygen promoting blood flow to the areas of the brain that require it.  And if snoring may be your trigger, my all natural Stop Snoring Program has achieved amazing results.

Erin Elster asked:


Many people aren’t aware of the relationship between upper cervical (neck) trauma and headaches. With all that modern science has accomplished, there are still more unanswered questions than answered ones. This is also true in the case of headache research. It’s been difficult to pinpoint the exact reason(s) why certain people suffer chronic headache pain. However, research is beginning to point toward upper cervical trauma as an underlying cause for many types of head pain, especially migraine, cluster and tension headaches.

The upper cervical area of the spine refers to the two vertebrae located at the top of the spine, directly underneath the head. C1 (known as Atlas,) along with C2 (known as Axis,) are chiefly responsible for the rotation and flexibility of the head and neck. Like the rest of the vertebrae, they are extremely vulnerable to injury and trauma, especially trauma to the head through auto or sporting accidents.

Because so many nerves transmit through the cervical region (to and from the brain,) trauma to this area results in problems to other parts of the body. This is where the relationship between the upper cervical area and headaches becomes evident. If these vertebrae become displaced, even slightly, chronic head pain can occur. Unless the neck injury is addressed, the symptoms persist.

Chiropractic care involves correcting the position of these injured cervical vertebrae, particularly C1 and C2. Realigning these vertebrae may reduce or eliminate many types of headaches.

The most common types of headaches for which people seek upper cervical chiropractic treatment are migraine, cluster and tension headaches. Migraine headaches are characterized by intense pain on either one or both sides of the head. Pain is usually located around the temples or behind one ear or eye. The pain is so severe that it often causes extreme sensitivity to light, dizziness and may even lead to vomiting. Migraines may occur with or without ‘aura.’ Aura refers to visual symptoms which occur 10 to 30 minutes prior to the onset of the headache. They are usually in the form of flashing lights, lines, blind spots or even temporary blindness.

Cluster headaches almost always occur on only one side of the head. Their onset is so sudden and intense, cluster headaches have been described as “worse than childbirth.” In fact, the doctor who originally identified and researched cluster headaches characterized their pain as being able “to drive normal people to suicide.”

Tension headaches are sometimes called ’stress headaches.’ They often start midday and usually consist of a dull, aching pain rather than a sharp, intense one. They start gradually and slowly build in intensity. Tension headaches may last anywhere from less than one to several hours.

Of course, not every headache falls into one of these categories. The type and degree of pain varies from person to person. However, if any headache occurs more often than on an occasional or sporadic basis, it’s safe to assume that there may be an underlying cause. Continually treating chronic and recurrent headaches with pain medication may temporarily ease the symptoms, but it won’t cure the problem.

Many of these headaches are successfully treated with upper cervical chiropractic care. The number of treatments required varies by individual, as well as type and frequency of headache. A first visit to a chiropractor usually involves a spinal exam and diagnostic tests such as x-rays. From there, the practitioner will determine a plan for treatment. Patients almost always notice an improvement in symptoms, sometimes after only a few treatments.

Monch Bravante asked:


 

Just as moods get affected by the weather, so do weather changes trigger headache pains. Statistics from the National Headache Foundation (NHF) survey reveal that 3 out of 4 people who had frequent headaches reported weather or barometric pressure changes as triggers.

In the same survey designed to identify the environmental factors considered by patients to be major headache triggers, bright or flickering lights, strong odors, cigarette smoke, and loud music were also frequently cited.

According to NHF Executive Director Suzanne E. Simons, people often have trouble identifying their own headache triggers because a combination of factors may be involved.

“It can take a lot of detective work, and that is why keeping a headache diary is so important,” said Simons. A headache diary kept over a three-month period can be one of the best tools your physician has for making an accurate diagnosis.

There are about 28 million Americans suffering from migraine headaches, with 25% of women and 8% of men experiencing one or more migraines over the course of a lifetime.

Based on the survey of nearly 200 frequent headache sufferers, about 1 out of 3 reported limited ability to travel because of headaches, and 3 out of 4 respondents said they avoided bars or clubs to limit their exposure to cigarette smoke. About 51% of headache sufferers reported being unable to attend concerts with loud music; 38% said they limited their time at the computer; while 74% said their ability to participate in outdoor activities had been restricted because of changes in weather, altitude, high winds, or bright lights. All these figures represent those who attempt to keep headaches from happening.

While it is not clear how weather changes might trigger headaches, Atlanta-based neurologist Leslie Kelman, MD, said that some research studies, however, suggest that they do.

In one study reported in 2004, researchers compared weather data from the National Weather Service to headache calendars kept by patients who believed weather played a major role in their headaches.

They concluded that while it appeared that weather variables may have a link to headaches, more patients thought weather was a trigger than was the case.

Kelman, who is medical director of the Headache Center of Atlanta, said that she always hear it from her patients. “Many of them tell me that even before they are aware of a shift in the weather they notice a change in their headaches,” Kelman added.

In Kelman’s own survey of 1,207 migraine sufferers, 80% of respondents cited stress as a headache trigger, 57% reported that not eating triggered migraines, and 53% and 50%, respectively, reported weather changes and sleep disturbances as triggers.

In the same survey, reported last May, 65% of female patients said hormone fluctuations triggered their headaches.

To some people, one trigger may not be enough, but several triggers will definitely give them the headache. People should learn how to figure out their triggers so they can certainly avoid some of them and prevent at least some of their headaches.

What are some good hairstyles that do not cause headaches?

I have very thick, curly hair, up to shoulder length.

Yesterday I went to the hair salon and tied my hair in a ballerina bun and I noticed that applying hairspray/hair gel on my hair just weighs it down and caused me a headache.

Any good tips/ ideas on how to have a good hairstyle without tension or headaches?
