I started getting these sudden headaches last monday, and not a day has gone by since then that I didn't have one. They come out of the blue, hurt like hell, and go away after like two hours or so. I don't know what causes them, maybe not enough sleep, or maybe my 12-hour daily screentime. That would be weird because I've had these things roughly since the pandemic started, but the headaches only appeared now.
Anyway, reading this post did somewhat relieve my current headache, and for that, sincerely, thank you.
Thanks, hadn't heard of this before. Looking at the risk factors, I have basically all of them (except the family history), and the symptoms match exactly — strong pain around the left eye/temple that lasts an hour or two and accompanied by the "autonomic" symptoms. However, I see Wikipedia describe it as "among the most painful conditions known to medical science", which is thankfully not where I'm at (yet?).

Was reading recently a little about “cluster headaches” - do the symptoms match?..
