Q. I get an extremely severe headache that feels like an ice pick stabbing my eye (Cluster Headache).

A.

This is a rare and excruciating headache, sometimes referred to as 'suicide headache' due to its severity. It causes a piercing pain around one eye, accompanied by watery eyes and a runny nose. 100% oxygen inhalation is effective, and in traditional Korean medicine, potent heat-clearing therapies are used to calm the brain's 'fire energy.'

📝 Detailed Answer

출산의 고통보다 심하다고 합니다.

  • 주기: 봄, 가을 등 특정 계절의 같은 시간(주로 새벽)에 발작적으로 나타납니다.
  • 알코올: 발작 기간에 술을 마시면 뇌관이 폭발하듯 통증이 오니 금주 필수입니다.
⚠️ 산소 치료

통증 발작 시 15분간 고농도 산소를 마시는 것이 가장 부작용 없고 빠른 응급처치법입니다.
