## _A mother�has spoken about�how her orgasm has put her in hospital after it left her with severe head pains, she ‘wanted to die.’_

Mum-of-three Tania Escobar, 44, from Darwin, was enjoying an intimate morning session
with her husband, Leonardo, 37, when, after reaching a�climax, she was hit with ‘
excruciating’ head pain.

> “We were mucking around and when I reached orgasm the headache hit. It was instantaneous,”
> she�told Daily Mail Australia. “I wanted to die. It just hurt so bad, having a
> baby was less painful.”

Ms Escobar was immediately rushed to hospital after realising that the head pain
was not normal. “I knew I had to go to hospital. A headache like that was not normal–
it was overwhelming.�I felt nauseous, I felt like vomiting. The pain was that bad,”
she said.

When tests were taken, it was learned that her blood pressure was ‘phenomenal.’ “
My pulse rate and blood pressure sent the machines crazy,” she continued. “I was
scared I was going to have a stroke.”

Ms Escobar remained in hospital for 24 hours under observation as medics feared 
she may�have a stroke. “Their first thought was that it was a stroke,” she said.

After the horrifying incident, Ms Escobar says she ‘still had a little bit of a 
problem with heart rate after that for a couple of months.’

Now, Ms Escobar spoke out to raise awareness about�the danger of post-sex head pain,
and that people who experience headaches during sex should�take it seriously.

> “Headaches after sex are more common than people realise.�Any headaches occurring
> with orgasm should be investigated by a doctor. It’s not something you should 
> just brush aside.
> “It can happen to men too – and if anything men are less inclined to go to the
> doctor than women are,” she said.

Earlier this week, a UK mother, Lucinda Allen, 38, from Stourbridge in the West 
Midlands, revealed how an orgasm caused her to have a stroke and eventually become
paralysed. After climaxing twice, she experienced a sharp pain just above her right
eye.

The headache was the cause of a brain haemorrhage and Lucinda has now been left 
paralysed down her left side and is now in a wheelchair.
