If you answered Yes to the above statements, then you may be experiencing Cluster Headaches. 
Cluster Headaches  are an extraordinarily painful, rare form of headaches, that affect five times as many men than women. The term ‘cluster’ is used as the attacks usually occur in groups or clusters, typically for several weeks once or twice a year at the same time of year.

Symptoms of Cluster Headaches include:
Excruciating, burning pain localized around one eye 
 Pain that is very pronounced behind one eye, commonly radiating to forehead, temple, cheek and upper gum on same side of face
 Drooping eyelid, a watering eye that may become bloodshot, running or blocked nostril on the affected side 
Steady rather than throbbing pain
 Attacks of Pain lasting 15 – 180 minutes, 1-3 attacks per day
 Attacks can occur on consecutive days for 6-8 weeks
 Remission periods of months to years
