So I've woke up at 3am the last 2 nights sweating and coughing pretty badly. My guess is maybe i'm coming down with flu. Anyway I noticed that any time I cough it hurts my head. Stupidly, I decided to check dr.google and I read that this is an unusual type of headache. It apparently doesn't happen unless you're over 40 (i'm 24) and causes range from nothing to brain tumor to cerebral aneurysm (a big health anxiety related fear of mine).

I'd just like to know if anybody else here ever gets a sore head from coughing? And if so, are you under 40? I don't wanna go to ER and have a CT and lumbar puncture if this is a completely normal symptom.
