Cluster headache: Cluster headache commonly awakens you in the middle of the night with intense pain in or around one eye on one side of your head. On the other hand, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) manifests as severe shortness of breath and coughing that generally occur at night. They are two different conditions. See a neurologist for evaluation. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000786.htm

Unrelated conditions: Cluster headache is the most painful of all the primary headache disorders. The headache is invariably unilateral and is usually centered behind or around the orbit or in the temporal area. Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) is shortness of breath and coughing that generally happen at night.
