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 really worried about a loved one who's at risk for a heart attack. I've been reading a bit and came across the term "loading dose." Could you explain when it's appropriate to use a loading dose for someone having a heart attack? Also, I'm curious about how it should be administered to a person. Lastly, could you walk me through the basic steps of first aid for a heart attack?

without knowledge and proper indication you are not supposed to give such medicines.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

take one antacid and if still symptoms persists consult a physician
