Suggest Treatment For Severe Cluster Headache And Strss

I am trying to figure out if I suffer from chronic cluster headaches or from something worse. I d love to rule out brain tumor. My headaches ALWAYS occur within 15-30 minutes of drinking alcohol. Would a brain tumor begin to cause pain after drinking? My headaches began about 2 years ago. They used to be seasonal but now are year round almost everyday. I would say at least 25 times a month. I live at 3500 feet above sea level with you Enormous amounts of stress and I smoke over a pack a day and also am a heavy whiskey drinker. I take 3-5 over the counter pain killers everyday to prevent the head pain. It s specific to one area over my right eye and into my right temple. At its worst I can feel it in my jaw. Also I experience warm redness in my cheeks. My main question is can I rule out brain tumor?

Please stop heavy drinking, smoking and many pills each day - at least reduce them. Such pains and stress may be in non tumor conditions too. You have not informed any blurred vision that is common with tumors but then again depending on location in the brain. No giddiness reported.

Ayurveda's point of view is managing pure 'pitta' humor vitiation. Please stop or reduce stimulants in food. Our patients are successfully treated with Herbal decoctions such as Liquid Pathyadi Kwath and Shirshooladi Vajra Ras and Ayurveda's nasal drops Shadbindu oil - a very pungent drops, besides some other things. These are commonly available in India. However some medicines may not be available out of India. However, may get through net or alternatives may be found.

Deep breathing and yoga also play a vital role in reducing tumors if these are there at all. But your chances of having tumor are not much. Still yoga and deep breathing will help you.

If you agree, please consult any Ayurveda specialist or may consult me through HCM platform by direct question.

Hope it helps.
