Orgasm Headache : Hurts Like Crazy, Doesn't it?

Our last page was about sex headaches. This headache can start during sex, and continually hurt the whole time.

But an orgasm headache can explode. Kind of like a ball bat hitting you on the head, right? We'll add more info on these headaches, and by reading both pages on sex headaches you will know more about these headaches.

Throbbing headaches that occur just before or during sex are known as benign sexual headaches, or (coital cephalagias). Let's go over the different types of sexual headaches.

One is the muscle contraction headache, caused by tensing of the muscles during sex.

These headaches are usually focused in the head and neck, and gradually get worse as your excitement rises. At orgasm, they may hurt in skull splitting pain so severe you may be sick, vomit, and have visual changes. For some, learning muscle relaxation techniques has proven quite helpful. Vascular headaches can be quite scary.

These are caused by the increased blood pressure during sex. When you have an orgasm headache of this type you could have a sudden, severe pain that explodes at the moment of orgasm. If your doctor determines that you have this type of sex headache, they may give you a blood pressure drug. Several medicines can be helpful especially ( propranolol, sold as Inderal).

Posture headaches during sex can occur in a sitting or standing position. If that happens just lying down will help the headache.

One more orgasm headache can be caused by the use of alcohol or drugs during sex. It's well known that red wine, cocaine, or marijuana can trigger headaches and migraines in some people.

A sex headache (On our last page) is a non chronic headache such as a thunderclap headache, or even an ice cream headache. All of us know what a ice cream headache is, and what it feels like. It leaves quick to, doesn't it? Sex headaches are often had by men and women that suffer from migraines.

The orgasmic headache can last for several minutes, to hours, or even days. Some physicians suggest that orgasmic headaches are very similar to headaches you can get after you exercise, which is caused by a temporary rise in blood pressure, or muscle spasm of the neck or scalp.

The International Headache Society classified two headaches associated with sexual activity. They are the preorgasmic headaches and orgasmic headaches.

We'll add this info to our sex headaches page just in case you miss one of the pages. Here is the criteria for these two types of sex headaches.
