Sharp pain in head when I cough

Hello. Since I had a bad cold in December, whenever I cough I get a sharp pain on the left/top of head. It only lasts a second or two. I don’t have a headache. Mentioned it to my doctor who did not seem concerned. It is worrying me.

Hi MoonStar1970, that is what I use to experience whenever I had a cold and cough.

A quick sharp stabbing pain. You had mentioned your doctor saying something about

a CT scan. Was that ever done? :) xx

Hi, no it wasn’t as they don’t seem concerned. My Health anxiety does not help as I think I have a brain tumour x

More of a nerve type pain from all the coughing you did. It will eventually

go away. :) xx
