Hi, you are having cough headache primary type.
Cough headaches are an unusual type of headache triggered by coughing
Doctors divide cough headaches into two categories.
Primary cough headaches are usually harmless, occur in limited episodes and eventually improve on their own. Secondary cough headaches are more serious, as they can be caused by problems within the brain. Treatment of secondary cough headaches may require surgery.
In your case it is cough headache and will subside with cough.
You are advised to consult pulmonologist for cough . Thanks
