Throbbing Vision, Intense Headache Followed By Coughing And Fainting In Extremely Tense Situations, Occasional Blood In Cough. Family History Of Cancer. Alarming?
HI, I am Aleece. In high tense situations, like arguing, my vision is throbbing and my head feels like its about to explode. I also fainted afterwards with coughing. I ve coughed up blood 3 times a month ago and havent since, but I have been on edge with emotions lately. Cancer has been in my family and caused deaths, am I wrong to think something serious is going on?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum
From your description possible causes of your suffering (Headache) in order of preference:
-Migraine
-Stress or Anxiety causing or increasing pain complaints
-Combination of above reasons
You also need urgent evaluation for blood in sputum by a chest physician apart from evaluation by psychiatrist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.
Regards,
