Question: "sinus" headaches, headaches when approaching orgasm...
Answer:
Dear Kathy,
I'd suggest that you make an appointment with your doctor to discuss all your head pain issues. You mention sinus. Interestingly, studies have shown that the majority of people who think they have sinus headaches actually have Migraine disease. See:
Sinus
Headache May Be Migraine
In a recent study, a startling 97% of the participants, self-described sinus
headache sufferers, actually had symptoms consistent with migraine attacks as
defined by the criteria of the International Headache Society.
There is a form of exertional headache called coital or orgasmic headache. In most cases, doctors can prescribe a medication to take in advance that prevents the headache. See:
Orgasm
& Headaches/Migraine
We've all heard the old joke, "Not tonight, dear. I have a headache." Right?
Surprisingly enough, for some people, there definitely is a correlation
between sexual activity and headache or migraine. Is that correlation good or
bad?
If your regular doctor doesn't know how to help you, find a good headache specialist. There's a link below to our directory of recommended specialists.
Good luck,
