A member asked:
Is it normal to hyperventilate after intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it is if the intercourse was really good (haha!). Seriously, hyperventilation can have many causes, some beingn physical and some psychological. Physical causes could be a relative lack of oxygen or a build up of carbon dioxide during sex. Psychological reasons many times are rooted in anxiety. It would be important to see your physician if this continues.
