No: whiplash is usually used to describe neck pain that occurs in a wforward and back type of head injury. any head pain that is worse when looking in one Direction is not normal, and specifically that the pain is worsened when you sneeze; this could mean that the pain is responsive to increases in intra-cranial pressure or u have a sinus fracture. you need to get checked out by a doctor.
