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 32 and just found out my triglycerides are at 360. Should I be taking meds to bring it down, or is there a natural way to manage this? Really need some guidance here.
For your triglyceride level of 360, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes first to try and lower it naturally. This includes maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, if these measures are not enough to lower your triglycerides, medication may be necessary. You can consider using Atorvastatin 10mg once daily to help lower your triglyceride levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
