a bad headache can be normal after a very "hard cry". Very simply put, when you cry, there is increased pressure exerted in the eye area and sinuses. Your blood pressure also increases during the period of crying. Hence, you can get a really bad, "slammin'" headache.

Emotional stress can translate into physical tension as well, and that tension can manifest in the muscles of the neck and head, leading to another means by which you can get a headache while crying.

after an intense period of crying (during, if you can manage it), try to drink a full glass of water and take an anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen (if you are medically safe to do so--if you have no medical condition that precludes you from taking that)
