Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Neck Which Comes After Having Sex
Its been about a week now and since the last time I had sex with my girlfriend I have a shooting pain in the back of my neck which is followed by dizziness and sharp pain. Even a week on and it still has not gone and when masterbating the same thing happens and seems to be getting worse. Iv gone to the doctor but could spot anything wrong but now it only occurs when having sex by the looks of things please help

Hi,
Depending on how long the dizziness lasts, you can get a blood pressure cuff and see if the blood pressure is dropping. Tension in the neck can trigger a (false) signal to blood vessels in the neck that the blood pressure is HIGH when it is NOT. This causes a lowering of the pulse and blood pressure (vaso-vagal effect) more common if there is some arthritis in the bones of the neck. and often triggered by muscle spasm in the neck. cannot say in your particular case, but generally, these are more likely than stroke, near stroke or heart attack.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
