Brief Answer:
Neurological evaluation needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
The pain you refer may be related to conditions such sinusitis, compressed nerve at upper cervical levels, etc.
Sneezing causes a sudden increase in intracranial pressure and vessels.
It is necessary to get evaluated by a Neurologist in order to understand better your condition.
In some cases no underlying conditions are identified, in these cases Propranolol use helps prevent these episodes.
