what sort of Dr to see?

[proton]

Almost three weeks had a headache at the right side towards the back, not quite a headache more a pressure or tension. Noticeable more when coughing or sneezing. Had my eyes tested last week, nothing to do with it and blood pressure is normal. Optician said if it does not go away to see a Dr but am wondering where to go to get it checked out, in Bangkok.

Your symptoms can be caused by several kinds of diseases, so I suggest you see a general practitioner (GP) first. Some hospitals have internal medicine specialists in general practice exam rooms, so don’t be surprised if you’re told to see one.

"Noticeable more when coughing or sneezing"

 

Ms Google tells me that's actually a thing, 'primary or secondary coughing headaches'.

 

Will pass (primary) to caused (secondary) by minor things, simple dehydration to major things, brain tumors.  Pretty wide range of causes.  Obviously if continues, especially if worsening, back to a GP to get referred to a specialist, or even a head CT scan, and take a peek at things, I'd think.  Somewhere in between to sort it out.

 

Good luck, hopefully it will just pass.

pulled a neck muscle?

i'm thinking neck muscles spasms might cause that sort of headache.

maybe an osteopath or chiropractor can work the neck a bit? 

that just came off the top of my head.

if you think it's bs, sorry.
