Why does my heart feel like it's about to stop when I have sex or masturbate?

As I've read a lot, doctors say a heart condition won't affect your sex life. But if that's the case, then why does my heart feel like it's about to stop/ give out at any moment when I have sex or masturbate? At one time I got really scared because I thought it was actually gonna stop.

Lol, stimulation from the nervous system, causes irritability, premature beats etc.

Likely not a problem but as with most i recommend requesting a monitor and masturbating while you wear it.. Just dont shake the wires around too much or it wont get a read.

Record the precise time of masturbation in the journal and bam.. You got yourself a diagnosis..
