Hello Naumanmarufi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Cluster headache can recur due to some trigger factors. Most important one are:-
1. Ciggarete smoking
2. Alcohol
3. Change in weather
4. Going to hill stations
5. Stress
If there are any of these or other trigger factors are there, please avoid them to reduce the attacks.
Intensity of attacks can be slightly reduced by taking pain killer under medical supervision.
Wishing you a happy and safe Hajj pilgrimage.
Thanks.
