Headache from coughing
by: ELH on Mon, Nov 19 2007

Starting in Feb 07, I noticed that whenever I would sneeze, bend over or cough, I got an intense pain behind my eyes. So..I tried to supress coughs and sneezes and it worked for awhile but the pain became more intense. My primary physician gave me antibiotics. Didn’t help at all, He refered me to an ENT.

The ENT did 3 C-Scans and decided I should have endoscopic surgery (roto rootering of the nose). I went throgh the surgery on 9 Oct 07 and thought it was over with. Not to be. I do not get the pain from bening over anymore, the pain from sneezing is not as intense but the coughing……oh boy, it is still there and the pain is now n the front and the back of my head. Of course I have caught a cold which always has a cough connected to it. Very painful…still. The ENT prescribed cough syrup which is just a cover-up, nothing to do with where the pain is coming from. ENT is going to refer me to a neuroligist. Am certainly hoping for relief
