Short time memory loss

Hello,
  I am a 29 year old male from Denmark. I have had a very healthy life so far with only a Tonsel surgery in my childhood and a Testis twisting surgery as well in my early teenage. Ever since I am living a very healthy life. I do get severe headaches quite often and not from today but since childhood. But never consider them as a serious disease. The reason i am writing to you is due to an unhappy experience i faced last week.
  
    In the middle of night, me and my wife were as usual having an intercourse session. That night it took a little longer than normal and i was aroused for a good hour and a half. At ejaculation, I experienced complete blackness in front of my eyes and felt a black layer covering my brain entirely. I fell down and was unconscious for 5-10 minutes (according to my wife) When i came back, i pretended as though nothing happened but suddenly realised i had lost my memory. I couldnt remember what happened to me. I couldnt remember what i did that day or the day before. Briefly, I remembered the characters that were close to me but where were they, that i could not recall. It took me a couple of hours to bring back my memory.
     The next day i went to the local hospital and they admitted me and made some tests on me. Blood test, CT Scanning and Spinal cord fluid test. They initially thought it was a minor brain hammerage. After the results, they concluded that it was not a brain hammerage but some kind of STRESS stroke. All tests came good and apparently there was nothing serious to worry about.
      Last night, similar thing happened. At ejaculation, i blacked out again. However, it was not that severe like last week. When the blackness cleared, i wasnt clear for 30 seconds what happened. Basically a 30 second memory loss.
       I AM CONFUSED  and a little worried as well. I do work a lot and obviously due to work, i can say that stress is there. But, i seriously dont think i should have a stress attack at ejaculation.
       Secondly, I do not trust the Danish medics. Some of my closed ones have experienced worse due to the Danish medics unawarenss of the diseases and patients. Hence, i want to consult someone abroad.
       I seriously doubt that i lack some sort of vitamins and it is basically just weakness and i hope it is that. But since it is a matter of the brain, my closed ones are forcing me to get second opinions from outside Denmark.
      Please help me with what happened to me and what shall I do.
Regards

Hello.

I apologize for the delayed response.

I guess 'raindelay' has explained it quite comprehensively. Please keep me posted about any improvement with these measures.

I think what he means is you ought to let your wife do the driving for a while.  When you are either on top or in other positions that require exertion from you it's possible that this exertion is causing the effect.  Try to have intercourse with your wife on top and you just enjoying the ride and see if the same outcome is there after ejaculation.  Make sure you are breathing properly during sex and not holding your prior to ejaculation.

How serious are these symptoms. I am sorry but what do you mean by a passive role in intercourse.
Thanks

Hello.

These are the symptoms of a syncope. There is a temporary reduction of oxygen to the brain. This affects the congition (brain function regarding memory and other things) momentarily. Have you checked your Blood Pressure. Also, test for vitamin B12 in your blood.

I would suggest you take the passive role in intercourse and see if there is any change.
