Can be so: 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

Cluster headache: is the most painful of all the primary headache disorders. Because of the intense pain, cluster patients often pace the floor or bang their heads during headache episodes. The pain of cluster headache is excruciating and it is not unusual for a patient to yell or cry. The headache is unilateral and is centered behind or around the eye with autonomic symptoms.
