A member asked:

When i lay on my stomach flat looking up and my head pounds immediately with pain. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus vs Tension HA: Your symptoms are likely due to a Sinus Headache, although the position you describe could also make a Tension headache much worse. See your Primary Care Physician for an evaluation. If you smoke, stop smoking - both conditions are made worse by smoking.
