Cluster Headaches

[LadyCG]

I've been getting them for 2 days now, too many times per day to quantify. They last just seconds at a time but are so frequent it's crippling.

Not responding to Ibuprofen and / or Paracetamol.

What can I get over the counter?

Thanks.

Speak to the pharmacist. They're usually very helpful.

Weird, I thought you were a medical professional.... See your GP as you need to find the cause of these headaches and address that.

[LadyCG]

I am not a medical profession, APG, and I have very little experience of this type of thing.

I am seeing my GP on Thursday afternoon, but I don't want to suffer until then if I can help it.

Thanks, Naomi, I might pop to the Pharmacy on the way home.

GP may refer you to a Specialist, once any unlikely major causes have been ruled out they can prescribe various treatments including a nasal spray which is quite effective.

Until then Naomi's suggestion is sound.
