What is causing chest pain after masturbation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing chest pains whenever I get aroused or during masturbation. These chest pains lasted for 2 to 3 seconds but were very sharp. I started taking beta blockers, which alleviated the pain to some degree, but the pain is still there. Previously, I was taking Metoprolol 25 mg.

Currently, I am taking Bisoprolol 2.5 mg. The pain is usually located in my upper chest area, especially at the base of my neck. If I masturbate too long, mild chest pain lasts for 10 to 15 minutes, and I feel very tired, and my chest area feels weird like my heart is not working properly. I have done tests like ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, and angiography, and they were all normal. I cannot tell what is causing this pain, but it is making me miserable.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your question and understand your concern. At your age, it is highly unlikely to get a heart disease. No doubt that there are heart diseases that can occur at your age, but they are rare and more symptomatic. When you masturbate, there is an increase in heart rate, thus causing increased blood demand to the heart. This is the cause of the chest pain you feel, but this does not mean that you have a heart disease. You do not have to worry about it; just like while running or doing strenuous exercise, this kind of chest pain may happen for the same reason. Orgasm has a similar effect on heart activity. So you need to relax, do not get bothered about it. You need to focus more on your diet and exercise; this will help you maintain your weight and your heart's ability to tolerate strenuous work. Once you build good stamina, the chest pain will also go away.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Crushing or severe pressure-like chest pain; chest pain that spreads to your jaw, neck, left arm, or back; chest pain accompanied by sweating, nausea, or severe shortness of breath; sudden fainting or loss of consciousness; or sudden severe palpitations with chest pain. These may be signs of a heart attack or other life-threatening condition. Call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room without delay.

Always consult a doctor before taking medication; self-medication carries serious health risks. Take exact prescribed doses, and never start, change, or stop treatment without medical supervision.
