Hi Everyone,

I've been suffering from cluster headaches for several years now, always in late July. For the last two years for a period in  late February and early March i get random headaches that aren't very painful just really annoying. The problem is that normal NSAID's don't do anything. Does anyone know if it could be due to air pressure/weather change?. I live in Alberta and we get all four seasons in one day at times and that's the only thing i can think of that could be causing it, or is it possible that i could be developing migraines?

Any Thoughts?

Hi and welcome,
It could be one of a number of things that's causing your
headaches, so its most important at this stage that you
check in with a headache specialist to find out what's
going on.

Cheers, Hoppy.

Any significant or worrying change should always be discussed with your doctor, ideally a headache specialist, but if you give us an idea of what these new ones are like we may be able to offer some suggestions.

It's possible to have more than one headache syndrome and while it's not fun, it's usually manageable.

I'm one of the "lucky" people with CH and migraines. It's essential to work with a skilled, experienced headache specialist as there are often complications when dealing with the combination of two (or more) headache types.

One typical issue is that there are good preventives for each, but you can't use both together. So it can be a balance between what is the most effective for the combination compared to the impact of each headache type.

I'm with Mike.. see your headache doc. I have both (well the D3 is keeping the CH at bay right now, but not the migraines).

And yes, the barometer does raise havoc with my migraines. It's about the only trigger I've EVER found. And I live in Texas where we can have four seasons before noon.  :)

An MRI will help tell the tale of what's wrong (and what's not). Get to your neuro.. And let us know how it comes out.  :-*
