Is it normal to be short of breath with a cluster headache?
My girlfriend gets them frequently, and it scares me. And at this point, we can't afford the medication to take (what the doctor says) a smidge of the pain away.

1. Certainly this is not normal, if medical treatment is out of the way then the best alternative is to drink plenty of water and start to do exercise.
If there isn't any improvement you have no choice but to see a doctor for check up.
2. The headache could cause tension and anxiety, which might cause the breathing problems. Check here for more information.
