Loss of consciousness after sex 27year old female

[Liz_321123]

Hello,

For the past three years , I have been getting very lightheaded after/during sex. It comes to a point where in the middle of it I have to stop and tell my husband im going to pass out and to run and grab something with vitimin c and sugar in it so i don’t lose consciousness. When I realize I’m starting to feel like this I immediatly need to sit up. After a minute my ears start ringing, I start to loss consciousness, see black spots and have tunnel vision, my lips turn blue sometimes, I can barley talk, and today my heart felt differently. I told this to my doctor a few times and they checked my blood pressure because my husband mentioned maybe its hypoglecimia . The doctor didnt really have an answer and told me my blood pressure was fine. The only thing that helps in this situation is drinking orange juice, taking a vitimin c tablet, and or eating something with sugar. What do I do ? Its starting to happen more frequently than it used to .

Thank you,

Liz

Transient loss of consciousness after penetrative sex may represent an episode of vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal syncope is a common type of fainting triggered by psychological or physical stress, such as seeing blood, straining during a bowel movement, or intense sexual activity (deep penetration hitting the cervix, which has lots of nerve endings), which causes your heart rate and blood pressure to briefly drop (you can confirm this with an automatic blood pressure cuff available online or at your local pharmacy). In most cases of vasovagal syncope, you have some warning that you are near fainting. These signs include "tunnel-like" vision, nausea, dizziness, pale skin, feeling hot or cold, and/or sweating. A vasovagal episode usually is not anything to worry about, as long as your doctors have ruled out other more serious causes. If you experience a vasovagal episode, lie on your back and elevate your legs with pillows to increase blood flow to your brain.
