Is sexual activity dangerous for people with heart disease? You always hear stories about men who die of a heart attack during sex. I am lucky enough to have a pretty active sex life for a 60-year-old, but does my heart disease mean I should slow it down?

A member asked:

For years now, I've had what I can only describe as a pulse that goes through my head. When I say pulse, I don't mean like heart rate, but like a wave that goes through my head. It only happens once or twice at a time, and is monthly. What is it?
