Cough Headache: My Head Hurts From Coughing

As if Coughing is not enough discomfort for one person to bear, some people experience Cough Headaches associated with Coughing.  There are different possible medical conditions triggering Cough Headaches.  The type of Cough Headache being addressed here is one that is triggered by Coughing, happens occasionally rather than being continuous, lasts for a brief time, and improves on its own or with minimal intervention.  Cough Headaches affect Men more than women and people over age 40.

Cough Headaches are not a common type of headache.  They can be painful and exaggerate the discomfort and dysfunction associated with Coughing.

Exercise & Cough: Runners, Swimmers, & Endurance Athletes

Exercise!  You’re a runner or swimmer or another type of endurance athlete.  You’re working-out intensely, feeling fit and great, and then you burst into a coughing fit after your workout.  Mood Buster!  You didn’t have any symptoms before your exercise, so what gives with this hacking cough? Why can’t you catch your breath?

Coughing during or after exercise can be a symptom of a condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.  “This makes it more difficult for the air to get through into the lungs,” says Jonathan Parsons, M.D., director of the Ohio State University Multidisciplinary Cough Program. Cough is a common symptom among athletes.  Other common triggers can include:  respiratory infection and environmental exposures like cold dry air.  A less common trigger but one to be considered is exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction.

Exercise Should be Good for You!  Contact Dr. Mandel Sher if you have recurring hacking coughing fits during or after exercise.  Dr. Sher is a Cough Specialist who will listen to your cough history and story, perform a comprehensive evaluation of the cause and triggers, and help you achieve remarkable Cough Resolution Results.

Smoking is Bad for Your Health: Marijuana & Your Cough

It’s old news that tobacco smoking is bad for your health.  Now along comes an evidence-review of 22 other studies evaluating the impact of marijuana smoking on your health.  The review was conducted by Dr. Mehrnaz Ghasemiesfe of the San Francisco VA Medical Center and recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.  Bottom line:  Smoking marijuana once a week doubles a person’s risk of developing a regular hacking cough.  Other adverse impact of marijuana on health was also reported.

Discussions around marijuana legalization are prompting the medical community to understand marijuana’s long-term impact on overall health.  Some experts liken the effects to the medical problems caused by smoking tobacco.  Other experts doubt marijuana will be as harmful as tobacco because it is not smoked as much.  According to Dr. Edelman, an adviser to the American Lung Association:  ” “I don’t think the smoke of marijuana is necessarily less toxic than the smoke of tobacco. It’s just that in general, people who use marijuana smoke fewer marijuana cigarettes than people who smoke tobacco.”

A hacking cough that lingers for 8 weeks and longer should be evaluated by a Cough Expert.  Sometimes, a persistent cough is a symptom of a serious, underlying medical problem.  Sometimes a Chronic Cough IS THE PROBLEM.
