A member asked:

Causes of brief mild headache when going from sitting position to standing, or when breathing out after holding breath? brain tumor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brain tumor: The headaches that you describe are not associated with brain tumors. Why are you holding your breath until you get a headache? Are the headaches associated with anxiety or blood pressure changes? See a neurologist to define and treat the type of headache that you are suffering from.
