  Cough headaches cause head pain after activities like coughing, laughing or straining. These headaches usually last fewer than 30 minutes and get better on their own. A cough headache is head pain that occurs after coughing, sneezing, laughing or straining. A cough headache can last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes, on average. Some can last up to two hours. Symptoms of a cough headache may include: Head pain that happens suddenly after coughing or straining and goes away shortly after. Head pain on one or both sides of your head (usually the front and sides for primary and back for secondary). A dull, sharp or stabbing pain (mild or severe). Less common symptoms of a cough headache include: Feeling dizzy or unsteady. Fainting. Numbness in your arms (secondary only). A cough headache happens suddenly after: Coughing. Sneezing. Blowing your nose. Straining (like during a bowel movement or lifting weights). Laughing. Crying. Most causes of a secondary cough headache happen due to a growth abnormality in your brain. One of the most common is Chiari malformation type I. This occurs when brain tissue in the lower back part of your skull extends into your spinal canal (the base of your skull). Its the area of your brain that regulates your balance. Cough headaches can interfere with your daily routine and your mood. This can prevent you from functioning and feeling your best. Secondary cough headache causes can be dangerous, sometimes life-threatening. If you experience a sudden headache without a known cause, contact a healthcare provider. Most cough headaches resolve on their own. Some may last longer, but its less common. Treatment isnt necessary for primary cough headaches unless they happen frequently and disrupt your daily routine.

They can last for a few seconds or minutes up to a couple of hours (in rare cases). Contact a healthcare provider if you develop a sudden headache when coughing.

• #10 Headache associated with cough: a review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3671207/

  Headache only triggered by coughing is a rather uncommon condition. The aim of the present review is to present an overview of the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, pathophysiology and treatment of both primary and symptomatic cough headache and discuss other relevant headache disorders affected by coughing. The diagnosis of primary cough headache is made when headache is brought on and occurs only in association with coughing, straining or a Valsalva manoeuvre and in the absence of any abnormalities on neuro-imaging. In case an underlying pathology is identified as a cause of the headache, the diagnosis of symptomatic cough headache is made. The vast majority of these patients present with a Chiari malformation type I. Other frequently reported causes include miscellaneous posterior fossa pathology, carotid or vertebrobasilar disease and cerebral aneurysms. Consequently, diagnostic neuroimaging is key in the diagnosis of cough-related headache and guides treatment.

  The current definition of cough headache includes provocation of the symptom by Valsalva manoeuvre, and it is generally believed that all cough headache results from a sudden increase in intracranial pressure. […] None of the patients had neurological signs. Eleven had positive modified Valsalva tests. Ten were found subsequently to have posterior fossa pathologies (secondary cough headache: 8 Chiari Type 1 malformations, 2 posterior fossa meningiomas). The cough headache was relieved following surgery in all cases. […] These findings suggest that secondary cough headache results from a transient increase in intracranial CSF pressure during exertion in the presence of obstruction to normal cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. […] Primary cough headache appears to be caused by a different mechanism, possibly through congestion of the orbital venous plexus in the presence of jugular venous incompetence and a reduced threshold for trigeminal sensory activation. […] By contrast, PCH is not provoked by Valsalva manoeuvre and must be due to another mechanism. This could be through orbital venous plexus congestion during effort in the presence of jugular venous incompetence and a reduced threshold for trigeminal sensory activation.

In general, patients with symptomatic cough headache differ from patients with primary cough headache in the fact that they tend to have more associated symptoms, depending on the underlying abnormality. Additional headache triggers, higher pain intensities and diverse headache durations and locations are generally reported. […] The pathophysiology of primary cough headache is not well understood, but various hypotheses have been formulated. It seems likely that it is associated with an increased intracranial pressure caused by coughing, this due to an increase in the intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal pressure subsequently leading to an increase in the central venous pressure.

• #36 Primary Cough Headache: A Case Report

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10072196/

  Primary cough headache (PCH) is an uncommon condition characterized by episodes of sudden onset, bilateral headaches typically lasting from a second to two hours. […] The headaches were initially precipitated by coughing as is typical with PCH but were unusual in the way the triggers for the episodes evolved. […] The patient initially came to the cardiologist’s office who then referred her to a neurologist for further evaluation. […] The neurologist prescribed indomethacin and topiramate four and nine days after diagnosis of PCH, respectively. […] After five days, the beta blocker metoprolol tartrate was prescribed as the patient’s blood pressure was rising significantly in correlation to the headaches. […] This case contributes towards the understanding of the potential evolution of PCH presenting with triggers unassociated with Valsalva maneuvers and ultimately occurring with no known trigger as well as providing an example of PCH with an unusually long duration.

  Primary cough headache symptoms can be debilitating and a preventative treatment strategy should be considered. […] The possible mechanism of action for indomethacin may be that it reduces intracranial pressure. […] After the underlying pathologies of a SCH were ruled out through diagnostic neuroimaging, the patient was diagnosed to have a PCH. […] Four days after the diagnosis, headache triggers began to change. […] The patient was also prescribed metoprolol 25 mg daily which was increased to 50 mg to address increased blood pressure levels. […] By the end of the third week, the patient’s headaches reduced in intensity from severe to a persistent moderate headache lasting throughout the day. […] Our case report is particularly beneficial because it describes an example of a PCH patients evolution of symptoms, providing documentation of PCH triggers shifting from Valsalva maneuvers to variable causes and ultimately having no discernible trigger. […] This case report adds insight into the presentation, evolution, and treatment of PCH.

  Headache only triggered by coughing is a rather uncommon condition. The aim of the present review is to present an overview of the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, pathophysiology and treatment of both primary and symptomatic cough headache and discuss other relevant headache disorders affected by coughing. The diagnosis of primary cough headache is made when headache is brought on and occurs only in association with coughing, straining or a Valsalva manoeuvre and in the absence of any abnormalities on neuro-imaging. In case an underlying pathology is identified as a cause of the headache, the diagnosis of symptomatic cough headache is made. The vast majority of these patients present with a Chiari malformation type I. Other frequently reported causes include miscellaneous posterior fossa pathology, carotid or vertebrobasilar disease and cerebral aneurysms. Consequently, diagnostic neuroimaging is key in the diagnosis of cough-related headache and guides treatment.
