ericpup -> Headaches during orgasm? (11/12/2008 2:43:31 PM)
I had something happen to me two times in the last week. The other night, I was having sex, and as I approached orgasm, I got a sudden onset headache. It hurt so bad, that I collapsed immediately after cumming, (ya gotta have priorities), and became extremely restless. when I calmed down, I actually had my wife check to make sure that I wasn't experiencing signs of a stroke. So, today, three days later, I decided to try it alone, to see what would happen. Again, just as I came, my head was seized by a crushing pain. I still have a headache, but not as bad. I did call my doctor, who has not called me back yet, because I am worried enough about this that I felt it was necessary, but I was wondering if anyone else had ever experienced, or heard of, this.

Make an appointment with your physician to rule out anything serious. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sex-headaches/DS00645

First thing that comes to mind is your blood pressure.

This EXACT thing happened to me a few months ago. I was worried and embarassed and it took a few weeks for it to go away. My doctor sent me for a CTScan just to rule out anything serious. What it ended up being though, was that I had strained something in my neck/shoulders. The reason it hurt worse when I orgasmed was because the muscles tense up, and because my muscles were already strained, additional tension sent me into sheer pain (and NOT the good kind ;) ). The doctor put me on strong pain medication which barely touched it. The necessary treatment - a few visits to the chiropractor. Don't worry though, my chiropractor said its relatively common. The doctor looked at me like I was about to drop dead. Doctor probably still a good idea, but I would DEFINITELY set yourself an appointment with a chiropractor, and a massage therapist if you can afford to do so.

There are various reasons for the condition but you must seek medical advice. You are male, but when this occured to me, it was the Pill I was on that was doing it. That isn;t going to assist you much, but others reading this thread might want to take that into consideration for them. the.dark.

I am prone to complicated migraines. I get both kinds of sex headaches on occassion. Since it is the first time it has happened, I would see a doctor to rule out any serious issue, as others have suggested. If it is happening every time, I would tend to be more concerned. Once is enough, however. You may want to consider your overall health and any pre existing conditions that may be feeding into this. I have several that can cause this at any given time. Good luck and see your doctor! lovingpet

definitely get to the doc, if only to rule out the serious stuff that could cause these headaches like blood pressure. hopefully they find nothing and it's simply a matter of getting some things adjusted at the chiro. let us know what you find out. i'll be sending good thoughts your way. PM

I know I get headaches at that time because I forget to breath. It's a long shot but are you making sure you keep breathing well throughout the duration? All my muscles constrict, added with the lack of oxygen and increased blood pressure that equals a heck of a headache.

This can be something bad (about 5-15% of the time it's due to an aneurism), so there will probably be a CAT scan in your future. I've had this happen twice and each time ended up getting tested. There are some simple medications you may need to take for a month or so that can stop these headaches (indomethacin or a calcium channel blocker). thornhappy

Good news, good news. I saw my doctor today, who of course, sent me for a head CT. Other then the fact that there is LOTS of air where a brain should be, there is no bleeding. YAY!!! Now I have a chiropractor appointment at 6, and we'll see if that helps. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

lovingpet -> RE: Headaches during orgasm? (11/14/2008 2:15:52 PM)
Awesome and good luck! lovingpet

It would appear that the problem has cleared up. Thanks for all of your kind thoughts. BTW, I even had an MRI, so I'm sure I'm ok.

lovingpet -> RE: Headaches during orgasm? (11/29/2008 11:15:40 AM)
That is very good news indeed!!! Glad you are feeling better! lovingpet

thornhappy -> RE: Headaches during orgasm? (11/29/2008 3:30:28 PM)
That's awesome! Now if they could only get rid of the air....
