For context, my friend rushed me to the nearest hospital to get it checked out immediately. After a thorough neuro exam and monitoring, it was determined that my pupil was dilated due to a moderate migraine/ cluster headache. The pupil wasn’t “fixed” or unresponsive to light, just big.
Since this afternoon, it’s gone almost completely back to normal. Scared the crap out of me though.

Hey a quick question : how did you find out? Because If i had pupils that were asymmetric I don’t know how i would even realize

Cluster migraines are horrible. My fiance suffers from them and the first one had him rolling around screaming that he was dying. Woke me up dead in the night and had me calling 911. I thought he was having a damn busted aneurysm

How does your surroundings look like? Is it like overexposed on one end like a gradient of exposure

In many people, this is a hospital right away. I’ve had it for 20+ years and now just have to have every eye doctor ready to explain to the cops that I’m not on drugs…

Yeah that requires medical observation, could be a stroke.

ive had episodic cluster headaches for the past 15 years……im so sorry you have to deal with “the beast”
and yeah, unilateral changes like this are are common during an attack (i can fill a whiskey glass with my optical and nasal secretions in less than 30 minutes during an attack and my facial muscles go all droopy like i had a stroke)
look up cluster busters if you get to the point where it doesnt seem worth enduring any more….saved my life

I know this is hard. Taurine and caffeine helped me. Melatonin helped regulate, kind of. It took a decade of debilitating headaches for them to magically disappear. *Knock on wood*… I know they’ll return but I’m living life for what it is rn.

Mine too. The entire right side of my head eventually became numb and I ended up with double vision for days. This was a month before being diagnosed so everyone was sure I had a stroke. It all just went away six months after the pain started. I feel like for you.
I have heard that cluster headaches are unbelievably painful. That sucks. Didn’t know they could mess with your eyes too.

As someone that has suffered from chronic cluster headaches for 17 years I’m absolutely amazed you are able to stop mid way to take a selfie, personally I’d be unable to have the foresight to leave the house if it was on fire during one.

Aside from the blown pupil…I’m so sorry you experience cluster headaches. I thought they were somewhat rare? So I’m sorry you’re one of the unlucky ones 💐

This seems to be common in people
Who have intracranial hypertension, which itself is often in people with hEDS/HSD. Also frequently combined to dystopia (eg POTS), mast cell disorders, and joint issues, etc.

My partner suffered with hipus like this for years with migraines it just stopped happening one day. She had lots of scans and they never found anything wrong.
I had cluster headaches after a car crash for a couple of years very intensely but they have since become mild. They can be distressingly bad the pain was ungodly like someone was digging my eye out with spoon for upwards of 24 hour sessions, longest was 54 hours. I have a lot of health issues but I never ever want Cluster headaches like that again.
Normally you will get drooping of one eye and excessive watering/reddening and swelling of the eye with cluster headaches.
I hope you all the best and try not to worry about it too much just keep an eye on it pardon the pun. ☺️

This used to happen to my wife during her migraines, multiple times per year. She was hospitalized several times over the years. I could always tell she had a migraine by looking at her eyes.
Prescription Frova has been a game-changer. She gets a visual migraine aura, so she can almost always tell one is coming, and then she can interrupt them with medication before they get too bad. I haven’t seen her pupils like this in years. Don’t miss those days at all.

I have always had two different size pupils… you can see it in my baby photos. but the thing is that the whole right side of my body is slightly smaller overall. as if i am two twins who never fully separated.

Get your ass to a neurologist pronto instead of posting to reddit. That shit can be extremely serious.
