What Causes Severe Pain On The Base Of The Skull?

This may sound strange but it was frightening. My husband and I were having an intimate moment and he was on top. All of a sudden, I felt pain starting at the base of my skull, going up into the middle of my head, spreading to the entire skull. I pushed him off of me and all I could do was hold my entire head. The pain was excruciating. I thought I was having a brain aneurysm. It finally subsided after 30 minutes or so. My husband nearly called 911. Very scary. I m in the medical field but have never had experience with something like this. Today, I feel better but drained.

Good day and thank you for posting this question. Yes, it could be a berry anuerysm and should not be taken lightly. I will suggest you do a Brain CT scan, to rule it out.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
