    This is totally normal, have you ever strained with coughing so much that your neck muscles tightened and cramped really bad? I have had that many times with a bad cough. A headache is no different, the muscles on your head are being strained from coughing so much. Sometimes it's your forehead, facial muscles, sometimes your neck. It's all relative =)

    Yes Christina my headaches were so bad when i cleared my throat it hurt. Or if i bent down my head would hurts. I found a neurologist and i was diagnosed with intracranial Hypotension. Low pressure of the brain. Due to a leak in my Spinal Column that needed to heal on its own. It took 1 1/2 years. I was freaked about it. But I back and feel great. I'm on Celexa fir the anxiety which for me is a winder drug.

    Will
