Cluster headaches are one of the most horrifying headaches a man can endure. Most doctors will prescribe strong drugs that you can only take ones or twice a day. But what to do if you have multiple headache attacks during the day. Some patients have up to 8 attacks a day, and what to do when you have a headache every hour? You can’t take your medication, but if they do stop your attacks, you won’t be able to do without.

I hear you think: what, oh what can I do when I get cluster headaches every hour. Well, if you are one of the lucky ones your doctor would have prescribed you an oxygen treatment. If you have oxygen available to you, you can take it every time you have an attack. This will help stop the attacks in a short period of time and you will feel better afterwards. The downside is that oxygen treatment doesn’t decrease the number of attacks.

So, are there any possible treatments that can help you decrease the number of attacks? Well, not yet. Meaning, not in the traditional medicine. Some people do find help in alternatives methods like my husband did. Last time he had an active period he started the water treatment and this method decreased the number of attacks during a day by half. Well, the half of 8 is still 4, but it’s better than nothing. He even had days he had only 2 attacks during the day.

Another method that helps a lot of people is drinking some kind of energy drink. My husband didn’t try that method because energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine and he is very sensitive to caffeine when it comes to cluster headaches. I did do some research on it and will give a more in depth review on it in another article.

Traditional medicine didn’t find a remedy or treatment for cluster headaches, but that didn’t stop people from searching their help somewhere else. I do recommend you that you inform your doctor when you try a new method.
