Migraine sufferers, do you experience worsened pain with coughing or bending down?

2nd migraine post: my head hurts a whole lot more if I cough or bend down. Hope many of you experience the same thing? (I know it's not an urgent matter because I've had this symptom since I was 9. I'm in my 30's now.) But I just read that this is not common. I don't think I ever told my doctor's this happens because I assumed it was normal for migraines since that's how mine have always been.

When my migraine gets that bad, my doctor will give me percocet and it helps.

There are a variety of underlying conditions that may cause positional headaches including anemia, a spinal fluid leak, a colloid cyst, or a brain tumor. https://khealth.com/learn/headache/bending-over/#:~:text=Positional%20headache,-Positional%20headache%2C%20sometimes&text=You%20may%20feel%20more%20pain,or%20when%20you%20bend%20over.

If you are experiencing pain that you think may be related to positional headache, make an appointment with your doctor to rule out any serious underlying causes.
