A member asked:

What to do if i have headaches during sex won't go away but i've been cleared of anything serious. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several options: Sex-related headaches are not uncommon. You should discuss the specifics of your condition with a headache specialist - I'm sure s/he will have had experience treating this condition. Commonly used and frequently effective preventive medications include: propranolol, calcium channel blockers, or topiramate. NSAIDs are often recommended to treat such headaches - other meds if HA is migraine-like
