What can a person do to deal with cluster headaches?

Avoid triggers: They come at certain times and in groups for a while and then can disappear for a long time. Triggers can bring them on such as any type of alcohol or any smoking. There are no specifically known causes. They may mimic migraines

See a neurologist: We can use meds to shut down the cluster (steroids), get you on a preventative med like verapamil or depakote, and use oxygen or injectable sumatriptan for abortive therapies.

Rx cluster headache: Cluster headaches sometimes improve by inhaling enriched oxygen for several minutes. Other treatments may include triptans, verapamil, ibuprofen, and sometimes seizure medications.
