A member asked:

When i laugh too much i get this headache lasting for seconds to minutes, is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Head pains: I liken these fleeting head pains to forehead muscle tension or strain also seen with coughing, sneezing, bending over. This type of pain isn't related to intracranial pathology. If you still have concerns. see your MD or a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
