Question 1

violent cough makes head pound. what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

Many things: It could be you have sinus issues as well as the cough.  Perhaps you have a berry aneurism( a bulging blood vessel in the brain).  Prhaps you have cervical disc disease.
I suggest you first go back to your doctor and makes sure your blood pressure is well controlled.

Question 2

when i cough i feel pain in my head what possible causes could that be?

Accepted Answer

Context: You phrase your question about cough and head pain in a way that makes it impossible to know if this is something that started an hour ago or that you've been experiencing all your life. Also, where is the pain? Face, Forehead, Back of skull? Is the cough just any cough to clear your throat or are you sick? Assuming both are new, my guess is you have an upper respiratory infection with sinus pain.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Painful Head Bumps: When you cough, you can "stretch" the tight scalp skin, and any such lesions will hurt. Some causes, and there are many more, of such lesions are described here===>http://www.Ehow.Com/list_6645563_causes-painful-bumps-scalp_.Html.
