Hi there I m 27 and in great health otherwise, but for the last few days I ve been having a pain in the right side of my head (feels deep..like in my brain or something). It happens when I laugh, cough , bend over etc. I m wondering if this is a cause for concern or what it could possible be from. Thanks! YYYY@YYYY
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Based on the description, I suspect that you could be having COUGH HEADACHE which usually results from increases intracranial pressure during coughing causing headache. The other possibility is a SINUS INFECTION, for which a X-ray of the PNS or a CT scan will establish the diagnosis. Based on the severity of involvement a course of an Antibiotic along with anti-inflammatory agent or a surgical Chat Doctor. So, a detailed clinical examination and appropriate investigations are needed for further management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
