normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for posting in healthcaremagic.

The phenomenon that you have described is a normal occurance in every individual. During the act of sex there is profound sympathetic discharge in the body which causes increased pulse, blood pressure, sweating, heating up of the body and also tiredness at the end of the act.

But if you are feeling very uncomfortable during the act due to heat, you must get a thyroid profile done (T3, FT4,TSH). Taking viagra like medicines can also cause this problem.

Dont be anxious , try to relax during the act.

Thank you.
