If you can find someone that can provide the causes of cluster headaches please let us all know.
The closest thing to a cause that I have been given is - perhaps it is inherited???

Currently there is no definative answer yo what causes clusters many theory's have been suggested but nothing has currently be proven

Don't think the cause is yet known. But I belive it's genetic/food/lifestyle.

Most probably severe hits to the head in the youth or past years

No one knows. Some people have triggers

There are triggers that only you can find out everyone is different.

Unknown but me personally think it has to do with temperature of your body along with stress factor

Evidence points to the hypothalamus at least as a starting point.

For me, I had two sinus surgeries in 2006 and during the second surgery, the ENT doctor cut into my trigeminal nerve. Shortly after that I suffered my first cluster headache. Sometimes it is a genetic condition, but not in my case. I don't smoke though it is more common in male smokers.

Unfortunately, no one knows ... because it comes at a certain time ... over a certain period of time ... and it will always be a certain period in a year that repeats itself ... The doctors think that this is something "in the biological clock" of the man ... and of course maybe something genetic

Not really known. Maybe some inflammatory process around the eyes nerve.

not sure. maybe hypothalamus. stays a mystery

Posted Nov 7, 2018 by Oliver 3000

No they are still studying on that but they say it can be genetical for example families whom have migrain have more chance to have 1 person with CH. BUT overall it can happen to anyone anywhere where ever you live.. They only know that it can start from jong& between 60 years old...alot of patients had no more attacks after their 60th birthday

I believe anxiety and nothing else

My cluster episodes tend to be more associated with changing seasons, come on at the beginning of spring and again at fall. During these periods, I am more affected by my triggers such as alcohol, smoke, fumes, cold, etc. Outside of these seasons, I can be exposed to the same triggers and NOT develop a cluster headache.

Identify your triggers, and avoid them during your cluster episode period!

This is unknown. From research I have done it is neurological and may be related to the hypothalamus. I personally believe it could be related to or affected by hormones or hormonal changes.

Initially I thought my clusters were seasonally triggered. I would get them every Spring and Autumn. But, since they shifted for a few years to Summer /Winter, and then back to Spring /Autumn, I don't suspect any seasonal trigger. In fact, I currently have no suspected triggers, or causes.

There is no known cause of cluster headaches but has been linked to the hypothalamus in the brain, which explains the 'like clockwork' and 'alarm clock' pattern.

The cause of cluster headache is unknown, although has been linked to the hypothalamus

I do not know what causes cluster headaches. I do know the tension does not cause them as they happen when I am relaxed mostly. They typically start in my neck on the right side I could feel the pain rise up over the top of my head and then stab me in the eye with a red hot knife. It is almost intolerable. I have faith in God, but I sure hope he forgives me for cursing him.
