Symptoms of cough headaches:  Begin suddenly with and just after coughing or other types of straining Typically last a few seconds to a few minutes — some can last up to two hours Cause sharp, stabbing, splitting or "bursting" pain Usually affect both sides of your head and may be worse in the back of your head May be followed by a dull, aching pain for hours  Secondary cough headaches often present with only a cough headache, but you may also experience:  Longer lasting headaches Dizziness Unsteadiness Fainting Ringing in the ears or hearing loss Blurred vision or double vision Tremor  A cough headache only happens right after coughing. Other headache pain is not a cough headache if you already had a headache when you coughed, or if you have a headache condition such as migraine. For example, people with migraine might find that their headaches get worse when they cough. This is normal, and not a cough headache.
