seizures?

I am a healthy 27 year old women, but when I orgasm I seriously feel like I'm having a seizure. My boyfriend and I kind of joke around that he gives me a seizure...but now that I've been looking into it a bit it doesn't seem so funny. When I orgasm, I can't control my body movements and I get a headache right after that. Is it possible that my orgasms are causing a seizure? If yes, then is it harmful or dangerous?

Hi wassi111, thanks for your help on this question. It's really old though and the poster hasn't been here in almost 10 years.

Do you remember what happens during the "seizure"?  Alot of people that have seizures dont remember what happens or kind of blackout for a moment.

It might be a phenomenon that people can get from breathing really deeply and fast.  This can cause hyperventilation, and hyperventilation can actually lead to tingling in the arms, uncontrolled stiffness like a seizure, and even passing out. Once when I was in the emergency room for an unusually painful ovarian cyst, I was breathing so hard and deeply that I nearly fainted, and they made me breathe into a paper sack to get (I think) less oxygen, or a more normal balance of oxygen and co2 at least.  I'm not suggesting you do such a thing in bed (LOL), but it's worth a try to see if you can breathe more calmly when you are in the exciting moment, and see if it makes a difference.
