Valsalva maneuver: Do you bend over 3-4x/day or do any of the following: strain on the toilet, hold in a sneeze, show off your abdominal muscles for bodybuilding purposes, bear down when moving heavy furniture, or try to roll someone over in bed who is dead drunk, then, you increase the pressure inside your head. This is called a Valsalva maneuver. Sometimes it can cause headaches. If NEW to you then, get checked.
