Iโm 20(f) and recently i started fainting when orgasming. At first it was rarely, but its now rare when it doesnโt happen.
Iโve been to the doctor recently (and i also went some years ago and i had some testing done for Pots when i was 12, which i didnโt have) and he wasnโt worried at all, but did wanna rule out anything serious. So i got blood drawn and he checked my blood pressure when sitting and when standing. I also got referred to the hospital and they did some tests, got an EKG and an echo of my heart. Everything was normal and they said its just vasovocale syncope. They said they could still do a table tilt test if i really wanted too, but didnโt see much reason.
Iโm happy nothing serious is going on and my heart is totally healthyโฆ but still iโm not completely sure, i still worry.
Just for background, iโm no stranger to fainting. Iโm horrible with blood, needlesโฆ getting my blood drawn always gets me waking up on the ground, iโve started bringing my own snacks years ago. But just seeing blood or a needle, even when it is not my own blood gets me lightheaded and sometimes faint. Pain is also a trigger and makes me faint sometimes. (The dentist can be pretty horrible) As a small kid i had those breath holding spells too.
Sometimes i also get faint when standing up too quickly, always had low blood pressure and i get lightheaded when i have to stand for a long time, like waiting in a long line
Iโve always had real lightheadedness and seeing spots when i orgasmed, i started masturbating at 14 or 15. Iโd sometimes pass out, but not that often. I started having sex at 17 when i got a boyfriend, but we broke up after 10 months. Then i hadnโt had sex for some years until 3 months ago when i started dating my current boyfriend.
Over the years the fainting got more often. Its not uncomfortable, i donโt get a headache or whatever. Sometimes i get sweaty and just feeling weak and shaky afterwards, takes me a few minutes to recover.
But for all those years between my ex and my current boyfriend i obviously only orgasmed alone. So when i started having sex with my boyfriend i told him about that i could faint and that it was nothing to worry about, cause i didnโt want him to get scared. But because of him i found out that i pass out longer than i originally thought, it feels like 30 seconds at most, but apparently its around 2 minutes before i wake up.
It doesnโt ruin our sex life or put him off. Thats not the issue
I guess iโm just looking for others to tell me that iโm fine and its fine. Are there other women who are so sensitive to vasovocale syncope?
