Barbara Healey Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi. I had my SAH in June 2014. A thunder clap headache caused by a coughing fit. My bleed dissipated over the next few months. No cause was found but I still get headaches caused by the usual symptoms. However. I have now a really bad cough and am frightened it is going to happen again.I try not to cough but that is easier said than done. Does anyone else get headaches caused by coughing? Many thanks.

jess Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi Barbara everyone gets headpain when they cough so try not to worry about that however I feel that it would benefit you to speak with a neurosurgeon go and see your Dr and ask for a referral xxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winb143 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Good luck Barbara, and try some lockets with honey xx (cough sweets) Hope you feel better soon, after mine I was even frightened of constipation (sorry but true) and coughing and I once had a bloodshot eye and that was it I thought I had another bleed. It is scary but best to get them checked. I felt like I wasted the Docs time but it was good for me as after a bleed we do worry about things like this as this wasn't what we had planned for lol At Least it put my mind at ease and saved me stressing as stress is bad as my surgeon told me xx Be Well Winb143 xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle C Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi Barbara, I recently had a bout of sneezing and suffered a really bad headache, when it didn't go away with pain killers, I went to doctors and got it checked out. It was fine, she told me that the stress of worrying about the headache was probably making it worse, Maybe that`s what you should do, I know it`s hard to not worry especially when your bleed happened after a coughing fit, like Jess said we all get head pain when we cough, please go and see someone and put your mind at rest. I had my bleed in June 2014 too. Hope you soon feel better Love Michelle x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi Barbara. I can certainly understand your concern, we all worry after the SAH. Surely it was a certain set of conditions that occurred with the coughing fit, so that now a cough should just be that.. But as others have said, see your dr and put your mind at rest if nothing else maybe you'll get an effective cough suppressant. Feel better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
