Several causes: Pressure is either from transient blood pressure increases during the cough causing swelling of the sinus linings or temporary distension of the veins inside the skull which are very sensitive (cough headache).

Question 8

sharp head pain one spot sometimes when i sneeze? sneezed today and got a sting of pain that lasted a second. left with on off headache. do i worry?

Accepted Answer

Cough headache: Your symptoms may represent a cough headache, which is triggered by straining (sneezing, blowing your nose, laughing, crying, singing, bending over, or having a bowel movement). If the symptoms progress or if you have new symptoms, see your primary care provider, who may refer you to a neurologist. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8649540 , http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/headache.html

Question 9

no headaches before. sharp jolts on r temple mostly, sometimes l, &back of head x 3 days. hurts to sneeze or bend forward.occass throb in mid of head?

Accepted Answer

Visit a neurologist: Sharp temporal headaches may be a sign of temporal arteritis, atypical migraine, or something intracranial.  In this case it would be wise to visit the neurologist.  It could also be as benign as the start of an upper respiratory infection or the symptoms related to temporo-mandible joint syndrome.  You should probably pay a visit to your pcp first.

Question 10

i sneezed extremely forcefully and felt a pop sensation in the back of my head. i have a headache in that spot now that hasnt gone away. should i be worried i have a brain bleed?

Accepted Answer

: Brain bleed does not cause a popping sensation. Pain in that spot could be due to the soft tissue strain of the area on sneezing. Use local hea tit should gradually get better. If not pl see your MD.
