[Speedbuggy in reply to Onthemove1971]

It's not a migraine, doses of what exactly?

[Onthemove1971 in reply to Speedbuggy]

Cluster headace/migraines are often caused by using to much medication. So if you take tylenol to many times in a month or Imitrix to many on one month. This can cause them.

I used to take nothing, they just happened. I now take blood pressure meds that's all

[Onthemove1971 in reply to Speedbuggy]

Just curious.. you are saying the are headaces becuase they are not debilitating? Or becuase they are just pain but don't have all.of the other symptoms?

I suffer from episodic cluster headaches, I use oxygen and injected sumatriptan for them now. When I first started with the cluster headaches (about 2009) I wasn't on any medication that could have caused them. When I finally got diagnosed I was taking high blood pressure meds (2018). In the past I have previously tried all sorts of meds that just didn't work to make the headaches go away.. does this help?

I interesting.. so am I. I don't have Oxygen at home but use it when I go to the emergency room. I use injections of Imitirx at home when my migraines get really bad.

I also take magnesium glycinate 3x daily and Feverfew. These cut down the number of Imitrix pills I have to take. I also drink peppermint tea and use roll on papermint.

Good luck!
