What Causes Increase In Libido And Fast Heart Rate While Practicing Yoga?

Hi Doctor I have a question about testoterone secretion in the body and rapid heart beat. I am a Yoga practitioner. Usually, I practice yoga twice or thrice in a week, each of them half-hour sessions. But, for the last 6 days, daily I practiced yoga for 1 hour. My Abdomen feels very light. And I feel I am having increased libido (or testosterone secretion in my body). And today, I feel rapid heart beat and my libido is at peak. Is there any problem with what I am going through? OR is it normal? I have not involved in any sexual activity or ejaculated in the last week. I will remain so for a few more months. Should I ejaculate in order to relieve myself from rapid heart beat? Or is there any other way out. Otherwise, I feel very healthy. (I am 28 year-old male)

Hello,
noted your question. You may need to do an ECG and basic blood tests in addition to examination by a doctor to assess cause of rapid heart beat. If you have practiced certain postures in yoga, heart beat may increase briefly. Yoga is unlikely to have increased libido. Having good libido is a sign of just being healthy anyway and I don't think it is a cause of concern.
You don't have to ejaculate to relieve heart beat. Meet a doctor.
