In Reply to: Severe headache - embarrassing question posted by Sue on June 06, 2000 at 01:43:22:

: I am hoping to finally have this answered as I am too embarrassed to ask a medical professional...I have experienced a sharp headache when I have been at orgasm. So bad that I had to stop immediately and hold my head...it was very frightening. It has happened only once, a few years back, but I am worried of it happening again someday and it being a possible brain anuerysm. Thanks in advance for any information you might have.

I had that too!! I had no idea what it was and it lasted for a week or more. I had ascribed it to a change in medication but don't know. It was THE WORST headache I ever experienced. Turned me off to sex for awhile. Did you find out more about it? The scarey thing is, about a month later I had a stroke... so don't play around with it! Please let me know if you find out what it was. Thanks!
