Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sexual intercourse is considered as heavy duty exercise.
Headache on such heavy duty exercise is seen in hypertension.
So better to consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring.
If you found to be hypertensive then you should start antihypertensive drug.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
