Q: i get a headache that lasts anywhere from a few seconds to a minute after i cough or sneeze. im worried it could be a brain issue. i just had sinus surgery 3 weeks ago, but had this headache way before surgery. i have allergies and sinus issues?

: I would consider this to be a transient irritability of a superficial scalp nerve or muscle rather than of intracranial origin such as occurs with pseudotumor cerebri, brain tumors,aneurysm, etc. A neurologist could evaluate &amp;advise you best if you still have concerns.
