Title: Headaches after sex.
Post by: Thomas 62 on 26/10/2012 17:08:14

Just before I reach climax I have a terrible head ache. But not all the time . Sometimes afterward I will lay down . Minutes after It feels like I might pass out. But if I sit up this feeling goes away. I've been to my doctor. He has changed my plood pressure medication. But it still happens sometimes.These headaches hurt like crazy. But only last a few minutes. I read a few comments here on this site . It seems like it happens more with women. I'm sixty two. Have sex 2 or 3 times a week. This does not happen every time . Thank goodness . Anyone else have this same problem?
