A woman was rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke while receiving oral sex from her partner.

The 44-year-old, of west London, passed out as she was nearing orgasm and scans later revealed a blood vessel had burst inside her skull.

Despite only suffering a 'moderate' headache when she came round after three minutes of unconsciousness, she was taken to A&E in an ambulance.

Medics didn't directly explain what caused the stroke - but said changes in blood pressure during sex are 'well-described' as a cause of bursting blood vessels.
