Brain pressure during orgasim

[jb21]

I have been with my husband for 6 years and never have experienced this before untill the last 3 days. When we have sex everything is fine untill I orgasim. When I orgasim I feel this unbarible amount of pressure in my brain, and I feel disoriented like I might pass out or something is going to happen. A lot of pressure is the best way to explain it. I take Ibuprofin 800 after I feel the pressure to help, And It does help but then it feels like a regular headach 1 hour later after the pressure goes away. It is way worse then a headach, what I feel at first. Could I not be breathing right? Any idea to what this could be????????? thank you

I had a argasim last night and I had such pain in my head that I cried and it last for a long time and I still have a small part of it today.  Oh my gosh, this is so awful that I got really scared of the pain.

I think you may be having an orgasm induced migraine. Check with your doctor for migraine medications.

Several years ago, just as I was having an orgasm, I felt like my head was exploding. I didn't tell my husband but I was in agony all night--the worst pain I've ever felt. In the morning he found me on the sofa in such pain, he rushed me to the hospital. I was in my late 50's at the time and had no prior history (at least to my knowledge) of migraines altho both my sister and mother have had them. They had to put me on morphine--the pain was that bad! It took 3 days in the hospital to rule out everything else.

Later I discovered that what I had thought were "sinus headaches" had actually been mild migraines--so I had been having migraines all my life. Once I started taking migraine meds for my "sinus" headaches, the problem started to go away. I have only had 2 repeat migraines at orgasm since and both were less painful and easily managed with the medication.
