As with Sara above ("clusters maybe?---13:05 8/20)without a better description of what you are experiencing, it's hard for any of us to give you suggestions. I agree with all of the rest---going to a neurologist is key. But, I know you are here for possible answers to your questions.
Can you answer these for "us"?
1) Where is the pain?
2) Describe the pain.
3) What do you do when you get the headache? How
does your body respond?
4) What meds have you tried?
5) When do you get the headaches? Time of day...
6) How long do they last? Each individual HA...
7) How long does each "cycle" last?
I get both migraines and clusters, along with sinus HAs, as well. There is a definite difference with all three. Not that I'm an expert
or a doctor, but "specifics" can help us try to help you narrow it down.
