Hi,
There is no scientific evidence to say that masturbation causes 'all those' problems you mentioned in the question. What you are describing is probably orgasm headache which is usually benign (not dangerous one). There is no specific treatment except symptomatic, like paracetamol. If it is really troublesome there are some medications which can be better taken after consultation with a neurologist. My suggestions to you:
- Get your blood pressure checked once
- Take at least 2 litres of fluid intake daily to improve your general well being
- Avoid fast and junk foods, excess sugars, salt
- Consume good amount of fruits and vegetables
- Do regular exercise at least 30 minutes daily
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
