Hi, I am recently married, I am anaemic and take iron tabs daily, I also suffer from migrain headaches all my life. My quest is personal, every night after relationship with my husband I get physically sick, I feel nauseas, head burst with pain that I can't stand straight, feel weak and dizzy, heart races that I can't breathe properly and this concerns my husband and our relationship. Why does this happen and what can I do?

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your available history.
Low hemoglobin is culprit of all your symptoms as during sex, blood flow to the genital areas are increased and there is redistribution of blood in body.
Sex also increases the frequency of migraine.
You should consult your doctor to find out the cause of anemia , whether it is nutritional or else. Please make it sure that you do not have blood loss in excess during menses.
Thanks.
