I had a spinal tap two days ago due to a pseudo tumor.  My pressure came in at 35 when it should have been 15.   I am I'm extreme pain when I cough and have terrible migraines. Is this normal?

  Hi, I do not have PTC but I do have Chiari and those with Chiari do have head pains and pressure when we cough, sneeze and laugh....and PTC is not a big step away from Chiari as the 2 conditions are related many with Chiari also have PTC.....

  So the answer to ur question is I think it is as "normal" as u can get with this condition.
