Default Coughing

If I could figure out how to search i would... but right now I can't do much... thank God for spell check...


Can coughing bring back symptoms? I feel like I hit my head all over again... I have this stabbing, made me drop my water stabbing pain right over my right temple.. I am dizzy, feel like I am about to throw up... light sensitive... noise sensitive...

Could not think of anyone else to ask that would know what is going on aside from the ER and I am not sure that they are very helpful...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)

Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture

Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath

Yes, coughs, sneezes, anything that causes shaking. I had bronchitis and my PCS symptoms were BRUTAL.

Is your neck stable?

Coughing can cause momentary spikes in blood pressure in the head. The stabbing pain in your temple is likely a vaso spasm. I get them. For me, they come in clusters. They can be painful. A vaso spasm is a spasm of the tiny muscles that encircle veins and arteries. There is little that can be done to stop this from happening. The only remedy is pain medications.

Cluster is a great way to explain, thank you... yes, it comes and goes and it super painful... will this go on until I am done with this cough? (caused by allergies I think)
