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?

I'm a bit worried because I sometimes get this pain in my chest. It tends to come and go quite a lot. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

Chest pain that comes and goes can have various causes, including heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, muscle strain, or anxiety. It is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. If you are experiencing chest pain, it is recommended to take a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) and seek immediate medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?
