Unlikely: Unless you have history of migraines - then could be.Your history is most consistent with muscle tension (won't show on x-ray or any other test) but can be felt by a good doctor.Cough, lifting, stress, crying all tend to pull ribs &/or neck out of whack, tightening muscles all the way from mid-upper back to side of head.A good osteopathic hands-on exam might find the cause & manipulation may help.
