Brief Answer:
I think it is a primary cough headache

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I believe that this headache can be related to sinusitis and coughing.
I don't think this is something serious but just a primary headache. It is better to cure the sinusitis first and see if you experience it or not after treatment.
If you still exercise headache after treatment you may need to get examined

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
thanks.
