What Could Cause Breathlessness After Having Sex?
Hi, Last night when I had sex, at the peak, I felt breathelessness. I couldnt breathe at all. But, once I am disengaged(soon after I felt breathless condition), I could catch breath but the heart beat is faster than normal fast. Pls help what does this mean and should I be seeking drs opinion? Thanks

Hello,
It is quite common and is due to exertion. Nothing much to worry as it will settle by itself and does not indicates an active disease process.
