Peek Pain level: 4
Onset: 2:45 PM
Duration: 45 Minutes
Medication used:  10 minutes of o2 @ 15 LPM
Possible cause: I fell asleep sitting up watching a video.  While falling asleep in this position isn't unusual having a Cluster while doing it is as they don't tend to come on when I am sleeping in a recliner.  I would sleep that way more often but it's bad for my back.
