My brother has sleep apnea. His doctor told him the extra something he has is hereditary and he would bet some of the rest of the family has it too. Since both the sleep apnea and the cluster headaches come on at night when asleep I wondered if there were a connection. I went on the net and found a medical articles titled, something to the effect of, "Cluster Headaches Related To Sleep Apnea" which I took to my doctor. I have been told I snore since I have had the headaches and my brother also snores, a result or having to do with the sleep apnea I believe. Has anyone supected or learned of a connection between sleep apnea and CH? My doctor tried to get me in a sleep clinic but the request was denied by the insurance.

Thanks
Brenda
