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've been experiencing this really weird thing where I suddenly get dizzy and faint after using the bathroom. I woke up this last time with a hurt nose, and it's actually the third time it's happened over the past five years. The first two times, I had a fever, so I figured that was the cause, but this time I'm not sick. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but no one seems to figure it out. They keep asking if I have issues with my BP or if I'm feeling hot. I dont have any of these problems normally, so Im really puzzled. Could there be something else going on that were missing?

This episode of dizziness and fainting could be related to a condition called vasovagal syncope, which can be triggered by various factors such as urination. To help prevent these episodes, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake to maintain blood pressure. Additionally, you can use medications like Fludrocortisone (brand name Florinef) at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg per day to help increase blood volume and prevent episodes of fainting. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if this medication is suitable for you.

I've been dealing with anxiety and blood pressure issues and was initially on betacap tr40. My doctor switched me over to telma 20, but I started experiencing palpitations. So I saw another doctor who changed my medication to nebicard 2.5, but I'm still having those palpitations. Now, my psychiatrist is suggesting I take petril beta at night. Is it okay if I take nebicard 2.5 in the morning and petril beta at night? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure it's safe.

u have to take petril beta at night only.

I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?

It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
