A member asked:
Heart palpitation , shortness of breath , sense of impending doom , lightheadedness, after getting sexually excited or trying to reach orgasm , what could be the cause ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperventilating: Your symptoms are characteristic of hyperventilation syndrome in which rapid respirations blow off too much carbon dioxide leading to chemical changes in the blood resulting in a drop in serum calcium. The cure is blowing into a paper bag and breathing the carbon dioxide. Try not to hyperventilate during sexual activity.
