Why Does One Have Pain In The Temples Post An Orgasm?
I just had an orgasm in the shower and as I reached it I could feel a very sharp pain in my temples. It made me dizzy and felt like I was gonna fall down. It was about maybe 15minutes ago but the pain is still there, I can barely move fast to walk. It s kinda going down cus I took Midol but its still there bothering me.

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
I appreciate your concern.
I don't think there is anything to worry about.
It seems to be a post coital or orgasmic headache. It is caused by the brain reaction to orgasm. It is benign. Indomethacine is very helpful in this type of headache.
I would recommend you to measure your blood pressure, to exclude a possible high blood pressure which may be the cause of headache.
Hope to have been helpful!
