im so glad that i found this lecture Ninja Nerd, since i take calcium channel blocker Lercanidipin which you didn't mention but can i assume is also acting like the other *dipines ? i have a low serum calcium and one thing i would like to know is if taking a calcium channel blocker has any affect on serum calcium levels ?

[gk_filer]

I hope they pay you well. Amazing recall of complex concepts.

[sydneylimarez]

Thank you! You're a life saver for medical student like me

The pain from cluster headaches is caused by the dilation, or widening, of the blood vessels that supply blood to your brain and face. This dilation applies pressure to the trigeminal nerve, which transmits sensations from the face to the brain. If that is the case, how do the calcium channel blockers help in relieving the cluster headaches since they cause vasodilation?

Always enjoy these videos on pharmacology😃🙌
