I get high anxiety after I masterbate

I'm not a crazed sex freak, I probably master bate 4 times a week, well it's based on how much I get out the house. But I'm not here to talk about about my masturbation schedule, it's just after I do it, I get high anxiety. I know it's mainly the guilt but I just think ima drop dead or get like brain annuerysm like after I do it. Like I did it earlier today and got a quick headache pain. I do have anxiety (but I've barely had any symptoms the last two weeks, which I'm very proud about) basically what I'm asking is, when I masterbate, am I basically welcoming the anxiety to come in, because I think something's going to happen to me after I do it? Also to note, for the last 2 hours I've been feeling weird, basically my worst day in the last 2 weeks...

Here's what may be happening:  sex stimulates the adrenals and causes heavy breathing, which can create feelings that feel a lot like an anxiety attack.  Some anxiety sufferers report this problem when they do heavy exercise as well.  So you're automatic anxiety response is connecting the similar feelings even though they aren't related in fact, just in physiological response.  Guilt is another issue altogether, and is altogether useless.
