Please be understanding with this one. This is a real problem for me and I am afraid I will not be able to see anything funny relating to this. Does anyone else suffer from migraines when experiencing an orgasm? My doctor has prescribed tablets to take as soon as I have the first sign of one. They cause extreme pain which is very distresssing for both of us. The doctor said this is a known problem and somehow or other relates to blood vessels in the brain. I am becoming quite afraid of the severity and wonder if they can be leading to long term problems. Thank you if you can help.

I am a migraine person, and, unfortunately, know a lot about migraines. They have different triggers. Orgasm is a well-known common one. If it is the only trigger for your migraines, just do what the doctor said, take the pill, rest once it is triggered. Read up about other common triggers and try and avoid them, especially if you're going to have sex. Hopefully, you are not on your way to becoming sensitive to many other triggers. Multiplying trigger factors guarantees a terrible migraine. There are food triggers (alcohol, chocolate, MSG, skipping a meal) and non-diet triggers (barometric pressure, your hormonal cycle, fatigue). Migraine never killed anyone, if that scares you, but can make living hell.

If you're a man, it's called a coital headache. If your GP thinks that you're ok, then don't worry: they go away after a few weeks apparently.
If you're a woman, then all the old jokes about females, headaches & sex come to mind: however you sound quite serious.
My wife went through this problem and it seemed to go away after two or so weeks. This after CAT scans & a barrage of tests which showed up absolutly nothing.

It's the increase in your blood pressure causing the pain I believe. If you recently had a head injury, like you bumped your head, the injury would hurt more with an increase in your heart rate until it healed; could take a few weeks. I don't think it's just the orgasm causing the pain; if you do any exercise or get your heart rate up, I bet you'd get the same pain. If it continues for several weeks, you need to see a doctor. In the meantime, my advice is to go out with guys that can't bring you to "really intense orgasms". Please settle for just a "plain orgasm" or maybe an "intense orgasm".

My wife did suffer from that a few years back, some one told her to take 2 aspirins 1 hour before sex, it seems it worked because the migrane stops the second time; one day she missed the aspirin and nothing happen until now so far so good, (3 years)
