I'm just wondering if masturbation has any negative effects for someone with atrial fibrillation and hyperthyroidism. After I masturbate at night, I notice my pulse and blood pressure seem high even the next morning. Could these be linked?

View allI'm really puzzled and a bit worried about what's been going on with me lately. Every time I try to catch some sleep, I get woken up by this chest pain and a rapid heartbeat. It's been happening for over a month now. Climbing stairs also brings on this uncomfortable chest feeling. I'm around 100 kg and on met XL and telmisartan for blood pressure. I had a Stress Echocardiogram and CT angiogram recently, and both came back normal. I also attached my last two ECGs for a reference. I've been reassured that this isn't cardiac pain, but it genuinely feels like angina to me. So I'm kind of confused and not sure whats going on. Could this still be related to my heart in some way, or maybe it's something else entirely?
It's good that your recent tests have come back normal, ruling out any cardiac issues. The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can try raising the head of your bed and avoiding heavy meals close to bedtime. If the symptoms persist, you may need to follow up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I've been noticing that my heartbeat is a real problem for me. I get stressed really easily, and then I just find myself getting angry. Is there something I can do about this? Can stress and anger actually affect my heart rate like this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
ecg and cardiac markers are advised

I'm feeling a bit worried because my ECG came back showing an abnormal sinus rhythm and something about an STT abnormality in V5V6. The report also mentioned left ventricular hypertrophy, and I've been experiencing dizziness and fatigue on and off. Just last Friday, my blood pressure was 150110, but then it dropped to 110130 by Sunday. Does this combination of symptoms and results suggest something serious that I should be concerned about, or could there be a more straightforward explanation? What should my next steps be?
Your ECG results indicate abnormal findings, including ST-T abnormalities in leads V5 and V6, suggesting possible myocardial ischemia or strain, and left ventricular hypertrophy, which may be related to high blood pressure, and your symptoms of dizziness and fatigue, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings (150110), suggest that you should consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management to rule out underlying conditions like hypertension, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy.
