A member asked:

Throbbing headache on the left front after climbing stairs, worse with coughing. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?migraine: You may be suffering migraine headaches, but may also have local jaw or dental problems, and the coughing which results in transient elevation of intracranial pressure may exacerbate any cerebral process. Hydrocephalus, or brain masses can cause increased pain on these valsalva-like maneuvers. So, maybe, see your doctor and decide if imaging is needed.
