Need some insights please.

After being attacked with a cluster headache(skip scale 8)last night, I had a strange thing happen. I was resting on the couch with my head propped up. I moved my head just slightly, and it felt like someone had rammed a hatchet straight down my skull from the inside down with tremendous force. It was so intense that I actually screamed out loud. I don't scream for any pain, not even kip scale 10's. It lasted for maybe 15 seconds, and then it was gone, with a lingering reminder that it happened, something similiar to a shadow.

Has anyone ever have this happened to them right after a cluster headache has left? I'm concerned about this, and would like to know if it's cluster related, or something else happening.

Thanks ahead of time for any insights.
