View allI'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 recently had a couple of ECG tests that showed an abnormal ECG reading. The first one mentioned sinus bradycardia and a borderline first-degree AV block IV conduction defect. Then, the next day, my ECG showed abnormal results again, this time with right axis deviation. I'm really concerned about whether this is a normal variation or if the machine could have made an error? Is this something dangerous that I should be worried about? What should I do next? Would love your guidance!
Sinus bradycardia with borderline first degree A-V block and right axis deviation on ECG can indicate certain heart conditions. It is unlikely to be a machine error, but it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In this case, you may need to consult a cardiologist for a detailed assessment and appropriate treatment. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management and monitoring of your heart health.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."
