Physiology & Medicine / Re: Have you ever had a Thunderclap Headache During Orgasm?
« on: 13/07/2012 22:10:30 »
Hello,
The first time this happened to me I got up and staggered out of the room holding my thunderclapping head in my hands. My girlfriend thought I was having a stroke and was going to call 911. The headache went away fairly quickly though and I did not associate it with sex right then. It did not take too long to associate it with orgasm though. I avoided having sex, then started to lookup home remedies. My last home remedy was to snort the capsacicin nasal spray.. quite an eye opener!!. That really did not work either, but I had hoped. I read through this discussion board several times looking for people to come up for an answer. The one thing I did notice is that there were a lot of people who talked about the issue and then I never saw another post from them. This will probably (hopefully) be the case with me. It took a while but the thunderclaps and sometimes the 2 day headaches finally ended. I found that if I abstained from sex for over a week that the pain was less intense, so thats what I started doing, and just dealt with it. For me the thunderclaps finally stopped. I took about 3 months, but now I'm about 3 months without it. It was so odd and painful. Why did it ever happen? After it stopped, I kept bracing for it to happen everytime I had sex, then one time I just forgot that it was suppose to happen and that anxiety was gone. So my message to so many that find this site, is that for me at least, it did just go away. I feel very bad for anyone who has to go through it. My best advise is to just abstain the best you can and hope it passes for you as well. I read good things about capsaicin and had a capsaicin drink twice a day for about a month, but after the thunderclapping stopped I soon stopped the drinking it.
