May have inherited CH from my Dad

As the title suggests, I think my dad passed it on.

These past few months I've been dealing with excruciating headaches. Feels like a ball of pain growing behind my left eye and completely wiped me out.

It's been almost daily, but sometimes the pain shows up or starts to show up just to go away again really quickly (thank god). There is an entire chance I may be looking into it too much and jumping to conclusions, but having chats with my dad, he seems to believe I share his condition, but from what he tells me, I'm not as incapacitated as he is when they occur. Sometimes I'm absolutely useless flailing in pain and sometimes I can pace around the room.

My question is can I have CH's that aren't as severe as my father's or would that suggest I have something else. In other words, is it possible to not be debilitated during an attack?

I've booked an appointment with my father's doctor to work towards a diagnosis and fingers crossed I don't have it
