A doctor has provided 1 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
