What Causes Pain In Head While Bending, Coughing Or Laughing?
I slept tense on Saturday night, when I woke up on Sunday morning I started getting head pains when I bent over or coughed or laughed. There s no headache, just the pain bending over, etc. I don t have insurance so I can t go to the doctor, but 4 years ago I got a CT that was clear. Could sleeping in a tense position have caused this?
yes this can be caused by a very tense muscle caused by sleeping in a tense position. Normally this improves within approx. one week with local warming pads or similar, and potentially antiinflammatory/ pain medication like ibuprofen, max. Dose 2400mg in 24 hours! (only take if there are no contraindications like stomach ulcers, gastritis, severe kidney disease). Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
