What Causes Pressure In Head And Dizziness While Coughing?

I have pressure in my head, upon exertion like lifting or coughingaughing. I get the feeling of blacking out. A whooshing heartbeat in my left ear, years of feeling dizzy and overall decline in health. MRI report is good. neuro suspects pseudo tumor cerebri.Had lumbar puncture opening pressure was 23 removed csf and closing pressure was 7.I laid flat for 4 hours first day and laid/Rested the rest of the day. Now second day, I hear squeaks/noise in my head with any slight shift of my head. Not much of headache and most of the swooshing sound in ear is gone. But, now I'm worried that I hear noise when my head moves. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pressure in head and dizziness while coughing which is due to sinus infection which is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry, I would suggest you to take cough expectorants along with warm saline rinses. You should take nasal sprays as well. You should drink plenty of fluids. You should avoid intake of cold, carbonated beverages and spicy sharp substances. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and get X-ray chest done and start treatment accordingly. You should take augmentin antibiotic along with flonase steroidal spray and Fiorcet for headache. Take proper rest. Take steam inhalation as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
