I'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?

I'm a 40-year-old guy and I've been taking tablets since 2015. Originally, I was on Stamlo 5, but recently my blood pressure was consistently high around 140110 to 140100, even with the Stamlo 5. The doctor switched my medication to Envas 10 and Hydrazide 12.5, and now my blood pressure is under control. I'm just a bit worried about any side effects these might have. Could you give me some advice?

Envas 10 is a brand name for Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydrazide 12.5 is a combination medication containing Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of extra salt and water to lower blood pressure. Some common side effects of Enalapril include dizziness, cough, and high potassium levels. Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. It's important to monitor for any side effects and report them to your doctor. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your medication as needed.

I'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."

During my recent checkup, all my cholesterol levels came back high total cholesterol at 257, triglycerides 216, HDL 40, LDL 174, VLDL 43, and non-HDL at 217. I had gallbladder and appendicitis surgery back in 2014. Could these surgeries be linked to my high cholesterol? What could be causing this, and how can I bring these numbers down? Also, what symptoms should I watch out for that might mean things are getting worse?
