    A male student of mine had the same problem for a while when singing in his top register (or rather, after he STOPPED singing in top) - he seemed to think that it was the resonance in his head irritating his sinuses, and while this may have played a part on it, I also noticed that while he sang in top register the veins in his throat would expand, suggesting that tension in his shoulders & through his neck was causing him to constrict the flow of blood to his brain - and as a result when he relaxed & the blood flow was suddenly free, the force of the full flow through the blood vessels in his head caused the headaches (very similar to migraine). A few sessions of acupuncture to get over the tension & use of some relaxing essential oils later, the problem vanished.
