Another follow up: I have the type of cluster headache that relates to the trigeminal nerve (left side).

Thanks for the information. Maybe there is something about fizz that helps.

As a follow-up post, I also take vitamins: in morning, 1000 mcg methylcobalamin B-12 and 200 mg high absorption chelated magnesium (every other day to reduce impact on gut); at lunch, 5000 IU vit D3 and a multivitamin for people over age 65; at night before bed, 5 mg melatonin (slow release). I've been taking these for about three years. Do folks take other vitamins to prevent or lessen cluster headaches?

Thanks for your comment, Jon. I don't consume any caffeine, so no energy drinks. Yes, it's flavored seltzer with nothing else. I think the carbonation is key.

I have a history of cluster headaches (about 8 years). Recently, I have found that drinking a small amount (about half a cup) of seltzer that has small bubbles immediately before going to bed every night has helped. This seems odd--why would seltzer help? Has anyone had a similar experience? If not, try it right before going to sleep and let me know. Any ideas as to why it might help? Thanks.
