A member asked:

I've had a bad cough for six days. when i cough, my head feels like it's going to explode and i'm going to pass out. there's some wheezing also.

Get seen: With the severe headache and the wheezing I would get seen.What is your blood pressure because decongestants can raise it and does your head feel bad when not coughing.Coughing will raise intracranial pressure.
