A member asked:

Hello..i had sex recently and when i was done i started to shiver,had problem breathing and felt light headed can somebody help me? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1st time?: Question: Was this your 1st time having sex?, First time feeling this way after having sex? Or both? Autonomic functions such as heartrate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels are all elevated during sexual activities and these in turn can make people feel light headed, and tremulous due to what is known as sympathetic overdrive. The condition is transient.
