Near Fainting During Intimacy?

This morning, my fiance and I were "messing around" while standing  up. We were not having intercourse, which we've never done. When I climaxed, I instantly got nauseated and felt like I was going to throw up. Then I felt dizzy and my face and ears went numb and everything sounded like I was under water. I sat down and after a few minutes it went away, but it was really terrifying.

I don't know what caused this... I wasn't locking my knees, I had eaten breakfast, and I wasn't dehydrated.

For the last few months I've been feeling like my heart is skipping beats, and sometimes my pulse is over  180, even when I'm sitting. Occasionally, I have the feeling that it stops beating for a moment.

Because I'm 20 years old, everyone (including my cardiologist) is dismissing this issue.

Could there be a correlation between the recent "heart problems" and the incident this morning? And if not, what might have caused this today?

Thank you so much!

I would be going to another cardiologist and demanding him to do some tests. Also get a diabets test as well and high blood pressure test. They will also tell you to see the cardiologist again . YOu should not be feeling like this.

Good luck

It could just be that the blood left your brain. I'd call your cardiologist to be sure. Best wishes.Also, 180 hr sitting is too high. They may want to do an ekg and halter monitor.
