I've been experiencing some real issues after I masturbate. First, I get really dizzy and then it turns into vertigo. It's pretty intense. After a bit, it leads to vomiting and I also have to deal with highly pressurized stool. The vertigo just doesn't quit and can last up to 8 hours. I'm kind of at a loss here and Im wondering who I should talk to about this. Any ideas on whats going on or whom I should consult?

The symptoms you're experiencing after masturbation, such as dizziness, vertigo, vomiting, and stool, are not typical and may indicate an underlying condition.

Possible Causes

Vasovagal Syncope: A reflex that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): A condition characterized by a rapid heart rate and other symptoms that occur upon standing.

Migraine or Vestibular Migraine: A type of migraine that affects the vestibular system, causing vertigo and other symptoms.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other gastrointestinal conditions may be contributing to your symptoms.

What to Do

Consult a Primary Care Physician: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.

Keep a Symptom Journal: Record your symptoms, including when they occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers.

Avoid Triggers: If you suspect that masturbation is triggering your symptoms, consider avoiding or reducing the frequency of this activity until you consult a doctor.

Specialists to Consider

Cardiologist: If your doctor suspects a heart-related condition, such as POTS or vasovagal syncope.

Neurologist: If your doctor suspects a neurological condition, such as a migraine or vestibular disorder.

Gastroenterologist: If your doctor suspects a gastrointestinal condition, such as GERD or IBS.

I've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?

Tke some time rest your leg in supine position,it will settle,if its becoming worse,visit General Physician for appropriate management
