Sex Headaches

LegacyUser

Recently I've started to get really bad pulsing headaches just as I am coming to orgasm during sex. I'm male and 22. I was just wondering is this normal and is there any way to stop it? It's making me not want as much sex which is not fair on my girlfriend.

Thanks

It's definitely not normal. You should talk to a doctor.

It can happen, I would suggest drinking more water and slowing down for a while.

Cut back on the cigarettes.

Definitely check with your doctor, you may need to get your blood pressure checked.

I would get this if I had been drinking a lot the night before and in hungover mode when reaching that point I'd get a major headache and have to stop.

If that happened everytime then I would check up on it with a doctor.

i've know it to happen to me and to partners when the sex has gone on for a rahter long time and while doing certain trantric sex excerises. Slowing down and having a breather can help.

This used to happen to me all the time. It used to frighten the sh!te out of my partner and I. Then it stopped and I don't know why. It hasn't happened to me in years, sorry I can't shed any light on the subject only that mine went away.

This used to happen me too. I googled it, its a condition brought on by stress I was told. Can't remember really. It went away after a while anyway, maybe a month or so, I remember they were really painfull. Not much help but just letting you know it is a condition and does go away, can't remember any tips to speed it along though

An ex of mine suffered with this for a while. It was pretty awful for both of us. Can't remember what the official name for the condition is but being dehydrated and smoking were big no nos.

It happened continuously for a couple of months, only during sex, masturbation was ok for him which led me rightly or wrongly to believe that it was something to do with me.

Like I say it passed and never came up again, it's a horrible thing to happen though, there's nothing worse than being afraid of an orgasm ><.

Have you fallen on your head recently? I am not taking the piss, but if you've suffered any kind of bang, or slap to your head, you could have bruised something very very slightly which only becomes apparently during physical activity.
Headaches are basically a result of inconsistent bloodflow around the brain, either too fast, too slow, or erratic, so all that thrusting might be just causing the blood to go too fast and aggravate something.

Go to a doctor. it's not embarassing and it won't be the first time they've heard it either.

Got a really bad one of these at one point. I thought the circumstances were pretty unusual though (and not fit for polite conversation), so I thought it was a fluke. A bad one that basically meant I voluntarily/involuntarily Closed Down for 2 weeks, because anytime I went to climax it just came back.

Truthfully it might be worth visiting a doctor because in retrospect I wondered if it was a Hemmorage; albeit not a fatal one - which tend to occur around the brain stem. I definitely do NOT advise trying to Patch your symptoms and continue climaxing. If you do, and the pain worsens or you lose conciousness, get to ER immediately.

If its poor blood circulation an ECG scan could pick up something. They can put electrodes all over your body and monitor your body for 10 minutes. Its quick and simple.

I had one done in a general check up in January and Ive been called back to have another one. No harm in getting a general check up and mentioning this to your GP.

If its really bad, you might want to get MRI scan of your brain (but again only a medical advisor/Dr. can advice you on your options)

Get it checked out just in case but it is a known condition I think called 'Coital headache' which can be brought on by stress, over exertion, etc

Make sure you tell your GP that it is brought on by Sex its information they need and there is no need to embarrassed
