My brother suffers from headaches frequently at random intervals. Is this cluster headache? Anyone having idea about cluster headaches do let me know the details please.

Well..its very difficult to say anything with the limited information that you have provided. If your brother has the pain near the eye area, then it may well be cluster headache. It would be best to go to a doctor and verify. Coming to Cluster Headache, they are characterized by agonizing pain near about the eye area. The longevity of such headaches may be short but that does not bring relief to the individual as there might be further bouts of attack throughout the day and this situation might persist for ages. It is also very difficult to predict the time an individual can get this attack and thus the name ‘cluster’ has been given to this sort of problem.
