Hello and welcome.
It seems like there is some circulatory problem since sexual intercourse raised blood pressure and heart pulse and it may lead to headaches. Most common causes are essential hypertension or migraines and you should regulate your blood pressure and blood sugar. Stroke is not option but neck blood vessels issue may be underlyng cause so you should see neurologist in every case. Regards.
