" Why do I sometimes get headaches during sex? It sounds like you&amp;#039;re suffering from what doctors call coital cephalagia, or sexual headaches. The pain, which typically begins during foreplay, peaks with orgasm, and can last for an hour afterward, is caused by sudden changes in blood flow, says Seymour Diamond, M.D., director of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago. &amp;quot;During arousal, your heart rate and blood pressure go up quickly, and that can cause blood vessels in the brain to swell,&amp;quot; he explains. But there is an upside. &amp;quot;Prolonging foreplay can prevent that surge in blood pressure,&amp;quot; says Dr. Diamond. And if you know you&amp;#039;ll be having sex, take ibuprofen or naproxen sodium an hour beforehand. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
