Sharp Pain On Top of Head When I Cough. Posted: 01-04-06 19:40pm
Hello,
I have been having this sharp pain on
the top of my head whenever I cough. I
have had for a week now. At the begining
it would hurt more easily. It only comes
when I cough. Also if I haven't coughed
for a while and then I cough it won't
hurt. Its only when I cough like one
after another. I also just got off of a
really bad cold and have been coughing
alot. It came on one day when I was
coughing really rough and then it
happened. I'm not sure what it is. I was
a little worried because I have read it
can be anything from sinusities to a
tumor. Any suggestion would greatly help
thanks.

Hi,
it is called pressure headache. It's due
to raised intracranial pressure.
Though brain tumor also causes headache,
but it it more severe and may associated
with nausia, vommiting, visual disturbance
and other symptoms. Pain could be at
night or morning. Ct scan or mri can
rule out brain tumor.
If you have persist headache then you
should contact your doctor and you may
need take some medications.
Acupuncture will help your condition.
Good luck,
