Is my head gonna explode??

Sometimes right when I am about to come, I get a pain that starts at my neck, creeps up the back of my head, and if I finish turns into a pounding headache. It has happened every once in a while over the past few years and usually happens in cycles of about a week. It happens to my little lady sometimes as well. It happened to both of us yesterday. I would have attributed mine to my borderline high blood pressure, but hers is low. Are we just forgetting to breathe? Am I gonna die of a cerebral hemorrage during an orgasm?

It's embarrassing, but I have seen some good advice here. Help me!

The pain you say you feel could be from your high blood pressure. At the point of orgasm, your blood pressure is at a maximum, along with your heart rate which can be up to 180 beats per minute.

And additional factor is that you and your lady could be having these symptoms from having very strong orgasms. The pain and headache could be from the drop in heart rate after orgasm and from involuntary muscle contractions that occur during orgasm.

But be safe, if you feel that it's a serious issue, see a doctor and ask.

Love's got it. See a doctor, dude.

As I understand it, this isn't all that uncommon. Forgetting to breathe COULD be a factor. But I would definitly as your doc.

usually sex cures headaches, but there are a number of reasons you could be having headaches around the point of climax.

1) you're not getting enough blood to your brain.

2) what love said. damn she's smart.

3) you have a tumor.

(i really couldn't resist... sorry)

4) your head is going to explode.

most likely it's nothing serious or life altering, but you still should go see a doctor because he/she will probably be able to either perscribe or suggest something that will lessen the pain. it may be as simple as taking an advil before sex or taking a multivitamin every morning.

I dunno why, but after I read that, I just thought of the title: "Is my head gonna explode?" in an entirely different context. rofl
