A gentlemen friend suffers from a severe headache right between his eyes for hours after he climaxes during sex. Any solutions? He is on a statin drug for high cholestrol.

Well, I don't think much of statin drugs. They can have lots of bad side effects. Did this start happening after the drug was started. Are you seeing any relationship?

Changing his diet, getting more exercise and adding cinnamon to the diet in capsules may help. He's got to get his sluggish liver moving.

How is his vascular condition in general?

Thanks. I've forwarded him your response and the link to the site. Hopefully he'll check in and try to get more info on this.

This may help to understand what is happening. It appears to be a common symptom.
Headache During Sex: Serious or Harmless?

Thanks, LiverRock.

I had never heard of sex headaches before!
What I had been thinking was this but was hesitant to say i - taken from liverock's link:

"Brain bleeds, often result from the rupture of an abnormal blood vessel such as an aneurysm or AVM (arteriovenous malformation).

An aneurysm is an abnormal artery, with bulging walls, somewhat like the bulging area we sometimes see in an overinflated tire inner tube. An AVM is a tangle of abnormal communications between arteries and veins. The walls of aneurysms and AVM's are weak, compared to normal vessels, so elevated blood pressure can cause them to leak or burst. The liberation of blood around or into the brain immediately produces the explosive headache."

I had a friend years ago who had a brain aneurysm that caused him headaches. Fortunately they figured it out before it ruptured and he had brain surgery and it quite well now. Lets hope its the other type of headache for your friend.

Let's hope so! I gave him the link to this forum this morning and he said he'd check it out. I hope for his sake he does......Travers??
