MEET THE WOMAN (PICTURED) WHO SUFFERS FROM RARE HEALTH CONDITION THAT MAKES HER FAINT DURING SEX

A mother-of-three suffers from a rare condition that causes her to faint during sex. 

Laura Crow, 28, was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTs) in 2011, after it was triggered by her first pregnancy.

As a result of the disorder, her resting heart rate is 110 beats per minute - around 40 beats higher than the average person.   

But triggers including adrenaline and excitement can cause it to peak at 180 beats per minute - which can cause her to pass out.

It's led to some tricky situations - and she has even passed out while beneath the sheets with her husband Ben, 28. 

Mrs Crow, from Southend, said: 'Whenever I have sex, there's a 50/50 chance I'll faint.

'The fainting can happen anywhere, any time - but with PoTs it's usually a case of gravity taking over, so the best way for us to do it is missionary, with me lying down.

'The first time it happened it was a massive shock for both of us. Ben gets very upset - when I wake up he is very distressed, even though he never continues after I've passed out.

'Once I faint I don't know what's going on, but it's very traumatic and worrying for him. But luckily it doesn't affect our relationship. He's the strongest rock I could ever ask for.'

'I'm not going to stop laughing or having sex in the name of PoTs.'

But it's not just sex that makes her pass out - other triggers include not getting enough sleep, temperature, laughing, exercise and anything that causes her heart rate to increase, like watching a horror movie.
