Diagnosis (Dx): Episodic cluster headache  
Cluster headaches are extremely severe but last between 30 minutes and 3 hours. They strictly involve only one side of the forehead, and are usually associated with ipsilateral (on the same side as the headache) redness, tearing, or drooping of the eye, runny nose or congestion, facial sweating or swelling, or related symptoms. Patients often become agitated or pace. The headaches often occur with “clock-like” regularity. Episodic cluster headaches occur in cycles of weeks-to-months at a time, and then spontaneously resolve, but usually recur months or years later.
