Pulsing In Head During Sex. Why Is This? Should I See A Chiropracter Or Massage Therapist?
Hi, I am a healthy 30yr female. Recently, when my husband and I are having sex right before I am about to orgasm I get the worst stabbing , sharp, pulsing in my head at the base of my skull that makes me immobile and feeling like my head is going to explode. Why is this? Should I see a chiropractor or a massage therapist?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is common after sex or during orgasm to experience headaches. These are vascular headaches, which are similar to migraines.
You should consult a neurologist for evaluation.
In rare cases, it could also mean an aneurysm (a small dilatation arising from a blood vessel in the brain).
An MRI with angiogram of brain may be required to make a definite diagnosis.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
