What Causes Severe Headache During Sex And Ejaculation?
About 2 years ago, I was having headaches during sex, especially at the point of ejaculation. This only happened a few times and was not severe. Suddenly they are back and very painful. They start at the base of the skull and surge upward with each heatbeat. I honestly feel like my head is going to explode. If sex is stopped, the pain gradually decreases and is gone in 30 to 60 minutes. What can I do. I take blood thinner so Tylenol is the only pain releiver I can take. Please advise?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You may be suffering from sexual headaches, also known as coital cephalalgia, are a rare type of headache that occur in the skull and neck during sexual activity, including masturbation or orgasm.
In some cases, head pain during orgasm may indicate a serious issue. If your sex headache is accompanied by neurological problems such as a stiff neck or vomiting, it could mean you’re dealing with: brain hemorrhage or stroke or aneurysm etc.
Orgasm headache is usually nothing to worry about, you should still make sure there isn’t anything more serious going on.
Consult your physician and get it done MRI brain, ecg, spinal tap, MRA then get treated accordingly.
Take care.
