Specializes in Psychiatry

Maybe: If you cried hard enough if can cause congestion of nose / upper airway which might contribute to a headache. Nausea might occur if anxious. Or these symptoms might have nothing to do with crying. If you are particularly stressed you could develop somatic symptoms. Take care.
