Question: Hello, since yesterday I have felt very weird. I have this pressure in the back of my neck and head. When I clear my throat or cough it seems to make it worse. It feels like I might pass out or something. I suffer from gerd so I cough and clear throat frequently. I also suffer from health anxiety. I just feel off. What do you think?

Brief Answer:
Simple conditions such as sinusitis, high blood pressure, to to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query.

I don't think yours is a serious condition, so, you shouldn't be worried more than necessary.

Any type of headaches, ( tension type, migraine, sinusitis related headaches, etc.) may be worsened after cough.

Cough itself can cause headaches by itself if it is frequent and moderate to severe.

One thing to do is to discuss with your Doctor and to get evaluated for sinusitis, blood pressure also should be evaluated, if higher than the norm then this may be the culprit.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Ok thank you. I do suffer from tension headaches frequently from my anxiety. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overstimulating my vagal nerve or something. This is the type of stuff I think of due to my anxiety. Thanks
