Could Pressing Of Muscles Lead To Sharp Headaches After A Heavy Laugh?
Whenever I laugh very hard (the type where you cannot catch your breath) I get two sharp pains in the back of my head. When I stop laughing, this pain goes away. Could you give me more information on what is going on? I am assuming it might be muscles pressing on a nerve, but it is quite painful.

Hi, thank for asking Healthcare Magic
Actually, the source of pain could result from stretching of muscles. It is less probable that it is a case of nerve compression.
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you good health
