Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contracting HCM with your health care concerns
You have noticed that after masturbation that you get a headache. This is known as post oragasm migraines and is relatively common. We do not know the exact reason for the headache but it may have something to do with increased blood pressure at the time of climax. You can treat the migraine with using a blood pressure medication prior to sex called a beta blocker. But the treatment maybe worse than the disease as it can cause impotence and erectile dysfunction. You may also try using ibuprofen or other NSAIDs prior to sex which may also reduce headaches.
