I was having sex Laughing and I got a severe headache out of nowhere,it stopped within 10 minutes. Ever since that,normally when its rainy or stormy outside I get little sharp twinges of head pain,it feels like someone is stabbing me in the head,it lasts no more then a few seconds. It usually occampanies a headache,anyone no the cause of this?

Welcome to .Ehealth!

Do these pains occur during any other physical activity or excitement?

There is a nerve that runs up your neck across your head to your eye. There is a muscle that can sometimes be contracted and put pressure on this nerve. It can cause extreme pain (normally in short bursts). A neruo will tell you to take it easy for a few weeks (meaning no physical activiy or excitement ie: no sex, heavy lifting, or getting upset) If after a few weeks the symptoms do not improve then you will need to see a docotor.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Make sure to keep us posted!

Im trying to think,I dont remember it happening again with sex,but thats because I be very careful to make sure it doesnt happen. I am now 9 months pregnant so Im really not doing any heavy lifting or anything,I actually havent had any of these pains for my whole pregnancy,they started again just the other day when it was stormy for a few days. It feels like they are subsiding today,I am just sick to my stomache thinking it may be something more serious,I am seeing a doctor tomorrow for my pregnancy,so I will definetly tell them about it,thanks for your post and any more advice will help!

Honestly, If it only happen the once. I wouldn't worry about it being a nerve.

If the rain is naking it worse it may be a sinus related pain. We have sinus cavities all over our head. However, being as far as you are in your pregnancy I am not comfortable telling you anything that you can take for sinus problems. I think it is a good idea to tell your doctor. They will be the best to tell you what you can take for it as well.

When is you edd?

June 10th is just around the corner. You must be excited to meet your little one! Do you know the gender yet?

Nope, not a doctor. But I have had a many problems with headaches (all kinds) my intire life. So I've done alot of research and been to many doctors.

You should introduce your self over on the pregnancy and the pregnancy community chat boards. All of the women there are very nice and supportive. We have a range of people from those of us that are ttc all the way to those that have toddlers and are just addicted to this site. So you can get help on most all problems or even just vent to people that understand.

I hope to see you over there. And please let me know what your doctor says.
