Severe headache during/after sex

[Melclin]

What your describing is called a sex headache or Coital Cephalgia..

...No Anklelosing Spiderlicious, but I've had them as well.

Scary as f*%$. They have this run away affect that makes you think your brain stem is trying to crawl out your nose.

Never had a headache like it. I was sure I'd blown a gasket and was ganna become a break room story for a bunch of MICA paramedics.

My doctor thought it was a right laugh :wacko:

34 yo female here, first had these 2.5 years ago. Thought I was dying. Each migraine lasted 2 days, every time for about 1 month. They stopped as abruptly as they started and then re-occurred a year later, again over a period of about 1 month. I've since only had 1 episode and tbh, they're so painful I daren't even try and enjoy that level of erm, stimulation for several weeks.

And sure, they occur more in men than women because way more men climax regularly during intercourse than women...

Dang, I guess there is a reason to become a priest.

I'll take my chances. After all, what's the point of being alive, if you don't make it worth while?

People Valsalva leading to climax.

If the vascular system is undergoing such a pressure test, defects will be discovered. Breathing (singing, screaming, talking) during climax may decrease some of the effect but also prevent effective Valsalva. Viagara or notro could conceivably contribute to it, no??

And also C1-C2 area insult or muscle tension can cause pain around the eyes via cranial nerve affect.

Either way, monitor and transport, no?

Didn't read the posts. My guess is some sort of vasodilatory drug. Seen it happen enough with nitro.

Cerebral Vascular Autoregulation to be the culprit, but that's just 0.0001 seconds of critical thinking.
