I've been experiencing some real issues after I masturbate. First, I get really dizzy and then it turns into vertigo. It's pretty intense. After a bit, it leads to vomiting and I also have to deal with highly pressurized stool. The vertigo just doesn't quit and can last up to 8 hours. I'm kind of at a loss here and Im wondering who I should talk to about this. Any ideas on whats going on or whom I should consult?

The symptoms you're experiencing after masturbation, such as dizziness, vertigo, vomiting, and stool, are not typical and may indicate an underlying condition. *Possible Causes* 1. *Vasovagal Syncope*: A reflex that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. 2. *Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)*: A condition characterized by a rapid heart rate and other symptoms that occur upon standing. 3. *Migraine or Vestibular Migraine*: A type of migraine that affects the vestibular system, causing vertigo and other symptoms. 4. *Gastrointestinal Issues*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other gastrointestinal conditions may be contributing to your symptoms. *What to Do* 1. *Consult a Primary Care Physician*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Keep a Symptom Journal*: Record your symptoms, including when they occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Triggers*: If you suspect that masturbation is triggering your symptoms, consider avoiding or reducing the frequency of this activity until you consult a doctor. *Specialists to Consider* 1. *Cardiologist*: If your doctor suspects a heart-related condition, such as POTS or vasovagal syncope. 2. *Neurologist*: If your doctor suspects a neurological condition, such as a migraine or vestibular disorder. 3. *Gastroenterologist*: If your doctor suspects a gastrointestinal condition, such as GERD or IBS.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's constantly saying that her head is spinning and I'm wondering if that's something serious. Which type of doctor should we see for this kind of issue?

Your mother may be experiencing vertigo, which is often related to issues with the inner ear or balance. A neurologist or an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) would be the right choice to help diagnose and treat her symptoms.
