Question
Hello doctor, my wife and I have a daughter nearly 4 years old, her husband is about 30 years old. There was a time when my husband and I had just finished having sex, and suddenly my husband felt tired, had difficulty breathing and fainted for about 1 minute, when he woke up, he didn't know that he had fainted but only knew that he heard her call to wake up. . So can you tell me if this is a symptom of a stroke?

Answer
The symptoms you mentioned are not a stroke. It resembles the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. You should take your husband to see a cardiologist for a more comprehensive consultation and examination.
