"Recurring headaches are common during the year following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), regardless of the severity of the TBI, and they tend to occur more often among females and those with a pre-TBI history of headache, according to an article in Journal of Neurotrauma, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. The article is available free online at the link below.
More than 70% of patients who had suffered a TBI reported having headaches during the first year after their injury. This finding is a result of a multi-center study described by Jeanne Hoffman, PhD, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, and a group of colleagues from University of Washington, Craig Hospital (Denver, CO), Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN), University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School (Dallas), Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond), and Moss Rehab (Philadelphia, PA).
Females and persons with a pre-injury history of headache were significantly more likely to report headache, but there was no statistical link between incidence of post-injury headache and the severity of the TBI."

Epistaxis or nose bleeding is the most common sign and onset of sinus cancer. Sinuses are those hollow spaces or air pockets found at a person’s nasal cavity. Their main function would have something to do with the resonance of voice and decreasing the weight of a person’s head. One may wonder how cancer would develop in such part of the body.

It's something to watch out for in case it might be a sign of bigger problems. After going through one TBI, the person affected should carefully monitor their bodies to better take care of it as it heals. Furthermore, it should allow for a faster diagnosis in case a new problem emerges.
