I've been told "no" by doctors, but like you I can't imagine why not. It seems a stroke would be a distinct possibility, and perhaps if you have an aneurism in the making, a full on KIP 10 would push you over the edge, but I haven't heard of it happening. Perhaps Bob J has some insights and will chime in. Tough question, but a good one. Blessings. lance

Reply #4 - May 16^th, 2012 at 7:17am Never heard of a cluster headache killing anyone. Have heard of associated suicide, death from the medications. Can imagine it causing a heart attack or stroke (there have been times I didn't think my heart would up through an attack).
