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 dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?

Why does my chest feel tight?
Some medical causes for chest tightness can stem from a muscle strain, asthma, ulcers, a rib fracture, pulmonary hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Aside from a medical reason, chest tightness can be caused by an active stress response, also known as the âflight or fightâ response.

I'm really worried because my ECG report says "old lateral infarct sinus rhythm." I'm not sure what that means exactly. Could you help me understand it? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
The ECG report indicating an old lateral infarct means that there was a previous heart attack that affected the lateral (side) part of the heart. Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you may be prescribed medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce the workload on the heart. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.
