I'm really puzzled about my friend's sudden passing. He was perfectly fine until about 10:30 in the morning, but out of nowhere, he had a severe cardiac arrest and died by 10:50. In the 48 days leading up to his death, he rarely ate food from home. I can't help but wonder if there might be anything like a slow poison that could have affected him. Could you shed some light on what might have happened?

While I understand your concern about potential poisoning given the changes in his eating habits, sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning even in people who appear healthy. The period of irregular eating could be related to various factors like stress, depression, or underlying health issues. If you have serious concerns about the circumstances, I would encourage you to share them with the relevant authorities and discuss with his family about requesting an autopsy if one hasn't been performed. Most importantly, please make sure you're getting support during this difficult time - losing someone suddenly is incredibly challenging, and it's natural to have questions and seek answers about what happened.

View allI've been dealing with this left side chest pain for more than a year now and it's really worrying me. I've seen a couple of doctors and even a psychiatrist, and they all say my heart is fine. I've had a full body checkup, and apart from low vitamin D and some past hyperthyroid issues, everything looks normal. My thyroid levels are okay now, and the antibody tests came back fine. They say I have panic attack anxiety and hypochondriasis. I mean, all my tests like ECGs, TMT, chest X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy are normal, and even my cholesterol levels are fine. Still, I can't shake off this weird feeling, like I'm scared of having a heart attack because of the chest pain. I can run long distances without any problems. Oh, and I should mention that I smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes a day, and I used to drink heavily, but I've quit that. I'm just trying to figure out if this is just anxiety playing tricks on me or if there's something actually wrong with my heart. Any advice?
It sounds like you have been thoroughly evaluated for your left side chest pain and all the tests have come back normal, indicating that there is nothing wrong with your heart. Given your history of panic attacks, anxiety, and hypochondriasis, along with the normal cardiac tests, it is likely that your symptoms are related to anxiety rather than a cardiac issue. To help manage your anxiety and chest pain symptoms, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) as needed for acute episodes of anxiety. Additionally, you may benefit from a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) such as sertraline (Zoloft) or escitalopram (Lexapro) for long-term management of anxiety. It is important to continue practicing healthy habits such as quitting smoking completely, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress through relaxation techniques or therapy. If you continue to experience chest pain or anxiety symptoms, it would be advisable to follow up with a mental health professional for further evaluation and management. Remember, it is essential to prioritize your mental health and well-being in addition to physical health.

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?
