Sex triggered a life-threatening stroke in a healthy 35-year-old Illinois woman, her doctors report.
Sex-and-orgasm-triggered strokes in relatively young women and men are rare, but not unheard of. They require a combination of factors and events not unusual in themselves, but which are highly unlikely to occur at the same time.
The 35-year-old woman's symptoms were typical of this unusual kind of "cryptogenic" stroke, says Jose Biller, MD, professor and chair of the neurology department at Loyola University, Chicago.
"This young woman ... while having intercourse had numbness on the left side of her face, slurred speech, and weakness in her left arm," Biller tells WebMD. "When she was transferred to our care six hours after onset, she was completely unable to move her left arm, her face was paralyzed, her speech was garbled, and she was in a state of panic."

It was a risky decision. "We did this with a lot of sweat," Biller says.
The woman's symptoms began to improve almost immediately; within an hour she was out of the woods and within 12 hours the symptoms were almost gone. Today she is well, with only an almost imperceptible fold in the skin under her nose and slight loss of dexterity in her left hand.

I have heard about men making women weak at the knees but this is ridiculous.
Talk about one heck of an orgasm. That guy must have known what he is doing.
Where does it say she was with a man?
Well anything that causes a spike in BP, heart rate and constriction of the blood vessels can induce a stroke if other abnormalities are present. This is a silly article.
"She was screaming 'Oh why nod! Oh why nod!' over and over again. I thought she was having a great orgasm but it turns out she was having a stroke and was trying to say, 'Oh my God! Oh my God!"
It was scary as hell for the woman, her family, and friends.
She wasn’t watching Obama was she?
a once in a lifetime orgasm?
” WE did it with a lot of sweat.” No kidding!!!
“She was screaming ‘Oh why nod! Oh why nod!’ over and over again. I thought she was having a great orgasm but it turns out she was having a stroke and was trying to say, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God!”
sorry but I can’t help it. it’s just funny. sorry.
Screamer turned into a Moaner for a short time....
My wife is safe.
LOL!
LOL! This thread is doomed...
Need more evidence to determine guilt or innocence.
“She was scared to death, and she and her boyfriend and family were pushing us very hard to close the defect, so that is what we did,” Biller says. “So she had the device implanted to close the PFO.”
I hope the man involved supplied her with many strokes before the orgasm.
