•It can radiate to the gum,
forehead, nose, temple, cheek or chin on the affected side.
•It is
often seen that the eyelid of the affected side swells and becomes
droopy.
•The nostril on the affected side may become congested. Nasal
discharge is also seen often.
•All this is accompanied by sweating as
well as a flushing of the face on the affected side.
•There can also
be conjunctival infection leading to red, watery eyes. Constriction of
pupil, either stiffness or tenderness in neck, and jaw and teeth pain
are also reported.
A person may start getting
cluster headaches when he is in his adolescence or early 20s. The
individual attack lasts for less than two hours. And when the pain ends,
there are additional stabs of pain. Whereas a migraine patient needs
rest during the attack, a cluster headache patient gets restless, active
and violent. Lying down further aggravates the already bad condition of
the patient suffering from cluster headaches.
