Recently, me and my bf started having sex. The 1st time we had to stop because i felt sick and dizzy, and the 2nd time the same but i was actually sick this time.
I've not felt the same since apart from in the position when my legs are in the air and hes on the edge of the bed. I was just wondering if this is normal and whats happening. A few years ago i was told i have low blood pressure.
I was diagnosed with it back when i was 14/15 and im now 20. I get the same symptoms as your friend does but just comes and goes, i think with sex it may just be down to nerves or fear of like orgasming or something.
Thanks for your help
Hi Kim,
Are you still treated by the doctor who concluded that you have low bloodpressure or who has treated you for this? I'd ask him/her about it.
I'm no medical professional. But people do sometimes get dizzy or sick and even vomit, when they feel nervous or stressed, experience pain or discomfort, feel exhausted or sleep-deprived, eat/drink too little, exercise too much, etc. Was any of this the case with you? Or do you recognize your symptoms from other situations besides sex?
A friend of mine back in college suffered low bloodpressure, which caused her to feel tired, dizzy, sick and even faint at times. These symptoms were aggravated in certain situations as mentioned above. When in doubt or concerned, consult your doctor. If it is only because a medical opinion will allow you to enjoy yourself instead of worry :)
Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums. I hope you will enjoy participating. Please begin by familiarizing yourself with the FAQs, the Posting Guidelines section, and especially the Index, all found at the top of the main screen. In addition, if you click on the site's Home Page you will find even more information.
Your predicament is not at all normal. Brandye, our resident M.D. strongly recommends that girls/women contemplating intercourse have a gyn. exam beforehand. This is both educational and physical in that you can discuss with your doctor any questions or concerns you may have and gather insight and information. The physical exam will just double check to make certain all your "pieces-parts" are normal. It is now that you can ask about your blood pressure and find out more about your dizzy spells. It is always a good idea to have a baseline from which to move forward. Do it ASAP, it is not too late.
I recommend that you and your boyfriend read every article listed in the Index, discuss what you have learned, and add the information to what each of you already knows. Knowledge is empowering!
