Latacia Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well for the first time last night I passed out during sex. While having sex I felt my heart rate speed up,I felt pressure in my head and then I passed out. When I woke up I got up and checked my bp and it was low and my hr was high. Has anyone ever had this happen to them or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Bless your heart. I've felt bad for so long I don't think I remember what sex is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizababy Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Tee,I have almost gotten to that point in certain positions. I have since found a few ways to combat it going that far. First, I take an extra dose of midodrine beforehand if I am having sex later in the evening. My last dose of midodrine is at 7pm so this usually means that I take it again at 9pm. This doesn't prevent sleep in the slightest. Second, I salt load during the day or drink an extra bottle of gatorade if I anticipate sexual activity (or exercise of any kind for that matter). The extra salt/electrolytes seems to decrease the dizzy spells. Lastly, when beginning to feel even the slightest bit dizzy I change positions or ask my partner to slow down. Even if it is just me blurting out "dizzy!" I make sure that he has a cue to know something has to change in order to help me. Sometimes, this means that there is a cool rag next to the bed in case I (or he, of course) get too hot because this can help me too.~Elizabeth~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipper Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 It makes my heart beat hard a fast all night. Sorry you are having this passing out. HUGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm with the group that has been too ill to even have sex. BUT, thanks for posting this Tee! It's not an easy subject to talk about and I have wondered what the consequences would be if I ever get back to feeling well enough to find a boyfriend. (I can't even imagine having the energy to find the guy right now let alone getting to the sex part. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyssa Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 You're not alone, Tee.One of the first times that I ever passed out was during sex. That was 2 years ago. These days, it's almost a regular occurrence.to be a little blunt, I've found that missionary is the best way to avoid it. Anything else basically guarantees a faint for me.
