I've been having some strange symptoms lately when I masturbate or watch intimate scenes. My chest gets tight, it feels like there's a lump in my throat, and I have shortness of breath. I sometimes even feel light-headed with my heart racing. I've had heart and lung tests but everything came back normal. Do you have any idea what this might be?

View allI'm a bit worried because my cardiologist just switched my medication from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to clopitab cv 20mg. I took the old meds this morning. Is it okay to start with the new one tonight? If I wait until tomorrow, itll be over 24 hours between doses. What should I do?
If your cardiologist has advised you to switch from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to Clopitab CV 20mg (which combines clopidogrel and a lower dose of aspirin), you can start taking the new medication tonight. This will ensure continuous antiplatelet protection without a significant gap. However, to be absolutely certain and to avoid any potential interaction or complications, it is best to confirm this plan with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

I've been feeling this weird vibration in my left chest, and it only lasts for like 1 or 2 seconds before it stops on its own. I'm not really sure what could be causing it or how to make it go away. Could you tell me what might be going on and if there's anything I can do to stop it?
Feeling vibrations in the left chest that stop within 1 to 2 seconds could be due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which are extra, abnormal heartbeats that begin in the ventricles. To help manage PVCs, you can try reducing stress and anxiety, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, and ensuring you stay hydrated. In some cases, if PVCs are frequent or bothersome, a doctor may prescribe a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate the heart rhythm.
