I'm 22 and I've noticed that when I masturbate, my heartbeat gets really fast and I feel kind of dizzy afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Can masturbation lead to a heart attack?

View allI've been noticing that my blood pressure seems to jump around quite a bit. Sometimes it's around 11575, other times it gets up to 12684, and the highest I've seen is 160101. I'm not on any medications for it right now. Is it normal for blood pressure to fluctuate like this, and what might be causing these changes?
Fluctuating blood pressure, ranging from 11575 to as high as 160101, can be influenced by factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and underlying medical conditions. To manage this, adopt a heart-healthy diet, reduce salt intake, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, noting any patterns or triggers, and keep a log of your readings. Consult your healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions and determine if medication is necessary. Discuss these fluctuations with your doctor to develop an appropriate management plan.

I'm really confused and a bit worried. I never had any blood pressure issues before, but two days ago, out of nowhere, my nose started bleeding at night. When I got my blood pressure checked at the hospital, it was 19080, which seems pretty high. The doctor prescribed me Amlodipine and Losartan, and now it's down to 12783. Just wondering, could these meds have any side effects? Any idea why my blood pressure suddenly spiked like that?
Amlodipine and losartan are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels to improve blood flow, while losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. The common side effects of amlodipine include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Losartan may cause dizziness, tiredness, or low blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to suddenly spike, and there can be various reasons for it. It's good that you sought medical attention promptly. If you have any concerns about the medications or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Got my lipid profile test back, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are at 257. I'm pretty concerned about it. Could you let me know what steps I should take to manage this?
With a cholesterol level of 257, consider lifestyle modifications and dietary changes to help lower your cholesterol; aim to increase soluble fiber intake through foods like oats, barley, and fruits, and reduce saturated and trans fats by limiting dairy, red meat, and processed foods; also, incorporate aerobic exercise, stress management, and weight loss
