So I Just Got A Headache About 12 Minutes After
Question: So I just got a headache about 12 minutes after sexual activity mainly located at the temples and slightly behind the eyes. It feels like pressure and I can feel my pulse. Is that bad or should I just go to sleep?
Brief Answer:
Check blood pressure first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Check your blood pressure if you can.
An increased blood pressure may cause the headache after sexual activity and feeling the pulse.
If the blood pressure is normal you can have any pain medications and go to sleep.
If this is happening rarely you don't have to worry about it but if it happens often you should get further checked.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
