Throbbing Headache. Hurts To Cough, While Bending Down. Reason?

I have throbbing headache , particularly on the left hand side in the front. Throbbing sensation felt exp. after climbing stairs but not other physical exercises. I have it for years now. I used to think it was due to my tooth , i have dentures now. I am female 25 india. Since last two days my head is throbbing, it starts in the evening. Today morning its not exactly hurting but i am very aware of it. Also when painting, it hurts when i cough and see or bend down. I think i ve had throbbing post climbing stairs since many years, just the headache for no reason has become more pronounced now. help, as i am worried. thank you.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

Sudden onset headache which is throbbing type may occur due to migraine, but there are associated features as nausea, vomiting, blurred vision or dizziness etc. You have pain with exertion mainly on climbing up stairs, or on coughing so it should be evaluated in detail also. I would advise you to get your ENT check up done to rule out any problem of sinusitis, and also EYE checkup for any refractive errors. If everything come normal you can visit a Psychiatrist for expert opinion for pain. Migraine or Tension type headache are other possibilities.

Thanks
