I'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?

I'm wondering if it's alright to have coconut water and oats after having angioplasty surgery. Also, could you suggest which fruits and vegetables would be beneficial during recovery? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm eating the right things.
