Accepted Answer

Positional headache: May be due to sinus disease, HTN, colloid cyst of the 3rd ventrical and CNS tumors as well as pseudo tumor.  Need more information to narrow this down.  I'd have this looked into as the most benign of conditions ( blocked sinuses ) obviates some sort of intervention.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Headaches: I am sorry you are experiencing severe frontal headaches when bending down. Headaches can be the result of a serious condition.

Hope you feel better soon.

Question 6

h/o migrianes. 2 weeks headaches, nothing works. pain worse with sitting, standing &bending over. better when lay down. what kind of headache is this?

Accepted Answer

Call doctor: Any headache lasting more than two weeks should be of concern. So it's best to contact your pcp, and have this looked at further. It could be a migraine headache, it could be a cluster headache too, it all depends on your history, and what is revealed. Difficult to do in this forum. Also make sure that you're hydrating well, staying away from triggers that can cause migrainous type headaches like cheese, wine, certain types of proteins.

Question 7

three day headache on the back of my head, right side. originally extreme sudden pain but dulled now. worse when bending. head feels wet with pressure?

Accepted Answer

?occipital neuralgia: You may have a trigger over right side of neck, but there may be irritation at base of skull affecting the greater occipital nerve of Arnold.  This should be self-limited and resolve over next few days to weeks, but if persistent, might consider occipital nerve block injection.

Question 8

why do i get a headache and my head turn red after bending over?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal Pressure: Bending at the waist increases intra-abdominal pressure causing venous return to the heart to decrease. This backs up the blood being pumped from the heart to the periphery which for your upper body is your head. Increasing venous pressure causes increased pressure in the head which leads to that headache. That's also why your face turns red. Same thing  from a valsalva maneuver.

Question 9

feel like there is pressure build up in my head, especially while bending over. also leads to minor confusion. no headache. possible cause?

Accepted Answer

Could be sinuses: Sounds like a fluid accumulation in the sinuses of the face which can occur with or without headaches.

Question 10

headache for 1 week when bending down and standing. went to neuro, sent to ophthalmologist, diagnosis pseudopapilledema. what further tests?

Accepted Answer

Usually benign: Pseudopapilledema, or optic disc drusen as it is also known, is optic disc swelling that simulates some features of papilledema (caused by increased intracranial pressure) but is secondary to an underlying, usually benign, process.  Extensive workup is usually not necessary but the headache should be further evaluated.  For more info see: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1217393-overview
