Radha Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 how can you tell the difference between a migraine and a cluster? i dont go thru long periods without headaches, but i do get the teary eye and pain on one side sometimes, and sometimes inhaling oxygen does help, so i was wondering if maybe i got both kinds, and is there any major difference in treatment? thanksradha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Radha, eMedicine had a good description of both:here's the link to their description of Migraine:http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic230.htmand here's the one about Clusters:http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic229.htmAfter reading through, the primary difference seems to be that clusters are always on just one side (migraine can be one side or both) and severe eye pain with clusters.
