Does Masturbation Cause A Heart Attack In A Congenital Heart Disease Patient?
Just masturbated and had my heart pounding hard, went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and said I had high BP and went again te day after that visit and my BP normalized and they did an echo and ekg. I was born with a congenital heart disease and had a switch of the great arterial vessels performed on me at two months. They recently found I had a bi atrial enlargement and now I am worried masturbating will cause a heart attack. Should I be worried? I assume the Bi atrial enlargement is due to the high BP which was due to my excessive binge drinking. I have stopped drinking though and am just concerned about my heart. Any information is helpful, thank you!!

Hello,
Please take care of high blood pressure.
You should note that fast heart rate associated with masturbation may cause heart attack but masturbation alone does not cause heart attack.
Avoid smoking and alcohol, if you are indulging in these things.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
