Sex may alleviate headaches by normalizing blood pressure.
Infact verdict: Mixed (56/100).
The claim that sex can help alleviate headaches by normalizing blood pressure is partially supported by evidence. Some studies suggest that sexual activity can relieve headaches by releasing endorphins and inducing vasoconstriction, which may help with headache symptoms. However, the evidence does not specifically confirm the normalization of blood pressure as the mechanism. Additionally, sex can also trigger migraines in some individuals. Therefore, while there is some support for the claim, it is not conclusive, and the mechanism of blood pressure normalization is not directly supported by the evidence.
