Hi abbey 2011,

 

Cluster headache's are some of the most painful type of headaches there are. We have information on this type of headache in this article, Cluster Headaches - The Basics.

 

In theory, like Migraines, cluster headache "should" run in families. But that isn't always the case, but I can point you to a site with more information: OUCH. 

 

Good luck

Nancy
