View allI'm experiencing some issues and I'm really worried. Whenever I masturbate during the day, my heart starts pounding really loudly afterwards. And then at night, I feel this burning sensation in my chest and it's so hard to breathe. It's okay during the day but when night comes, it feels really difficult to breathe. I just want to feel healthy and I'm scared something might be really wrong. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed this nerve in my left palm beating, and I'm not sure if it's something dangerous. I had an ASD device closure recently, and I'm wondering if this might be related. I have a 3-year-old child, so I just want to make sure everything's okay. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Nerve beating or throbbing in the palm of your left hand can be due to various reasons such as nerve compression, inflammation, or even stress. Since you recently had an ASD device closure, it is important to monitor this symptom closely. To help alleviate the nerve beating, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
