I've been having severe chest pains after ejaculating for years- it worsens through out the day and has lasted months. I've been to every doctor in town- cardiologists, urologists, gastro, pain management, sports medicine, neurologist- NO ONE can tell me why. I gave up sex and masturbation, but that didn't work- I have ejaculated without trying or touching myself. Has anyone had anything like this AND had it diagnosed???? THANKS!!!!!!

doesn't sound likely- hyper, larger or hypo- smaller, ejaculation volume. Mine seems pretty normal- based on sex with others and watching porn, it seems about the same amount as most guys. Thanks for the message though!

Hello (Sud-Ouest, Burkina Faso)

Had a tryst with an LVAD patient in Hampton Roads. Best cardiologists in the area are in Norfolk General, in the Heart Hospital, believe it or not. First time we did anything that led to ejaculation, his machinery went off, shocking us both. The attached computer emailed his doctor, reporting a cardiac arrest event. I assume that had to do with excitement, more than ejaculation. But. If your insurance would permit a referral to doctors way out here, maybe you could get an opinion from some of the finest specialists in the region, if not the whole country.

I've had EKGs, stress tests with ultra sounds- they haven't found anything wrong with my heart... 1 stress test was by doctor at Leigh Memorial in Norfolk- he also works at Norfolk General. Thanks for the advice!

The most obvious place to start would be a Holter or similar monitor device which you wear for 24 hours as you go about your normal life, being certain to get at least one ejaculation in during that time.

You may have a "wiring" problem that is triggered during ejaculation.

the problem started years ago- and was dismissed as acid reflux....in my late 20s, if I ejaculated twice in a day- I got chest pains, and thought it was reflux, so I avoided twice a day and was generally fine- then in my 40s- it felt like it snapped after an ejaculation- it hurt for 3 solid months, then eased and I could ejaculate every other day without much problem, then 1.5 years later, it snapped again- hurt continually for 5 months- I tried giving up sex entirely, but would ejaculate after a week while flaccid during a bowel movement or something- and that type of ejaculation hurt nearly the same. Both times after the 'snap'- felt like a knife in chest that was being beaten with a hammer- worsened at night, sleep nearly unbearable….it's been 2 years since that- I could have sex/jo every 4-5 days- some pain (figured if I would have pain from involuntary may as well do it), but a 6 hour Tylenol would do the trick- now it isn't....I'm considering castration. My insurance (Anthem) won't cover anymore tests, etc. on it- they covered a colonoscopy last year, but not the diagnostic of the polyps they found. I have bad circulation, but the vascular surgeon said insurance wouldn't cover surgery yet at the level closed I currently was. I thought it was muscular- ointment sometimes helps, but I couldn't get an MRI- I'd already had 3 CT scans and insurance said no- then I gave up, but it seems to be flaring again- and I refuse to go through the odyssey all over. Thought someone might have same problem. I've put on weight recently, but I've had this problem at 200 and 225.

No, I've never fainted or anything. Thanks for all the replies- I've gotten 1000 questions from doctors and given 1000 replies and still don't have any answers. I wasn't really looking for more questions (not being snarky- I truly appreciate the concern)- I was hoping for more of a 'OH- I've had that- it's this.'

Fainting is only one symptom. The sudden drop of blood pressure can cause chest pain due to your heart not receiving blood. Just saying. When I get it, I don't faint. I feel what can only he described as a full body zap or jolt and I get chest pain, lightheadedness, and fatigue.

Let me throw something out here just for the heck of it...

Shortly after our son was born, I began having heart palpitations like I hadn't had since I was a teenager. Never did anything about them at that time (I just assumed they were normal) but was very concerned now so I told my doctor. After many tests, I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse with Atrial Fib and put on beta blockers which seemed to resolve the problem. I still take beta blockers many, many, years later.

Anyway, I was one proud daddy and, just as soon as our son was old enough (hold his head up on his own, etc.) I would carry him around up on my shoulders. I would stand facing his back, put my hands under his arms, and lift him over my head and onto my shoulders. At the mall, in the grocery store, at the park when he was tired of walking/playing - he would be up on my shoulders.

I don't know exactly when it began, but one day a year or so after I started the beta blockers, I had a terrible pain in the center of my chest. I thought for sure I was having a heart attack, went to the ER and everything, but they told me I checked out fine. Said maybe just stress.

So, these pains would come on pretty regular; a couple of times a month, anyway, and would last for hours. I would usually "sleep it off" and wake up feeling better the next day. Then came the day that I suddenly understood what was happening -

It was the lifting my son over my shoulders thing!

As he got older and heavier, lifting him over my head was apparently putting a lot of stress on the point where my chest muscles / ribs attach to the sternum (the bone running down the center of the rib cage). I wouldn't feel the pain immediately, but always a few hours later. And the pain would always last for hours, then go away until the next time we went to the mall, the grocery store, or the park. :)

I heartily agree with this. A monitor may give a proper diagnosis and might even save your life. Keep a diary of when you orgasm, so that they can monitor that moment. Good luck! I’m sorry that you have not found answers yet, but I hope that you get some soon.

my insurance no longer covers any diagnostic work on me- I've maxed out, as I said above. Thanks for the advice though.

Ok. I have to pipe in... I have (had) severe anxiety. You may want to explore this. Those chest pains happened to me but for other reasons. I would feel the chest pain Sunday because I knew Monday it was going to suck at work (I since changed jobs - way better). I got to the point I'm on Lexepro 10mg once a day. For all the bad press about SSRI's, I'm doing way better. I bring this all up because I had several severe anxiety/panic attacks that got me in the ER. And of course they'd find nothing but told me I needed to reduce stress. For you - maybe the orgasm triggers it. Mine would go right to my heart. I would even get a numbness in my arm or leg. It was a constant low key anxiety attack. Do some reading about how they affect us. I was pretty amazed at how debilitating it can. And everyone manifests differently. Check it out.

When I was inducted into the army in 1956 at age 24 , the examining doctors debated about whether I had a heart murmur. They asked me questions about fainting and I said yes I do faint occasionally. They asked about chest pain and I said only when I overexert myself. The Korean War was raging and they accepted me. I had a few fainting episodes while in the army as well, but I managed to serve my 10 years with no terrific problems.

After the war at about age 34 I began to have chest pains when shoveling snow, mowing the lawn and after sex. At about age 60 a good heart doctor determined that my heart valves were congenitally a bit leaky, causing a deficient supply of oxygenated blood to my heart muscle. Since that diagnosis of angina, I have taken a heart medication to slow down my heart so that I almost never get pain any longer. The med causes my heart to stay within pain free and safe bounds.
