What Causes Increased Heartbeat After Orgasm
I am a 22 year old male with hypertension and I am on Verapamil to control it. However, the last time I had sex when I orgasmed my heart beat was extremely rapid and pounding. I then became lightheaded and it took a while for the heart rate to return to a normal rate. This scared me quite a bit, but am I worrying too much about it?

Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to healthcaremagic.
I understand your concerns.
Heart rate do increase at the time of sexual orgasm. It is normal physiological response. Usually it returns to normal after few minutes of orgasm. no need to get worried about.
Continue medications as per your physician's advise.
Warm regards.
