    Dr. Egilius Spierings answered:
    Benign orgasmic headache tends to occur in people with migraine. A severe headache occurs each time a person reaches sexual orgasm. Because the experience may be virtually identical to a thunderclap headache (headache that strikes like a blow to the head, causing sudden, intense pain), which is associated with bleeding inside the head, testing may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
