1. Although both are headaches, there are fundamentally some different symptoms. For example, migraine is a throbbing pain that can occur on both sides of the head or only on one side of the head or forehead. The headache may increase when the head is moved. It may even include nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound and smell, and colored spots, lines, flashing lights or flashes in the visual field, which are known as auras. The pain symptoms of cluster headaches are usually more severe than those of migraines. Sometimes the word “pain” does not convey the severity. For some patients, the headache can make them feel very bad. It is also associated with redness and tearing of the eye on the same side of the headache, swelling of the eye on the same side of the headache, nasal congestion, and a runny nose. Droopy eyelids, etc. 2. The course of the disease is different. Migraines start slowly and can last from a few hours to a few days. Patients may have some warning signs the day before the attack, such as cravings for specific foods and changes in mood. Patients may also have aura symptoms prior to a migraine attack. After the headache goes away, the patient may have a “hangover” feeling, which means that he or she feels tired or confused. Cluster headaches are different in that they are quick and last for varying periods of time, from about 15 minutes to as long as 3 hours. As the name implies, cluster headaches occur in clusters, usually at about the same time each day. Over a period of weeks or months, patients can have up to eight attacks per day, and then no more attacks for months or years, which we call remission. 3. The causes are different. Migraine has certain triggering factors, such as weather changes, too much or too little sleep, strong smells, stress, loud sounds, too little food, anxiety or depression, and changes in hormone levels can cause migraine. As for cluster headaches, they occur when the sensory nerves in the patient’s face are activated. They do not have as many triggers as migraines, but some patients report that drinking or smoking can trigger a range of symptoms or make the condition worse. Patients also find that headaches strike when the seasons change, especially when the seasons change. In the face of both conditions, everyone should go to the hospital promptly to determine what kind of headache they have and work out a treatment plan with their doctor. You also need to pay attention to the combination of work and rest in your daily life.
