Brief Answer:
Your might need some more investigations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello


I have read your query and have gone through your reports as well.
I understand your concerns.
Your reports are perfectly normal. So you can relax.

The increase in heart rate is normal during masturbation as there is increased autonomic hyperactivity.
There is dilation of blood vessels in penis, face, limbs and also cerebral vasodilatation. This leads to erection, facial flushing and headache respectively, sometimes.

Sexual Headache or headache during masturbation are often exacerbated by fatigue, stress, and engaging in masturbation many times in rapid succession. For this, you should try to create a cool and relaxed environment, breathe consciously, and drink lots of water before the act to prevent dehydration.

You could also be in a stressful posture if you masturbate looking at porn in your computer.
For this follow these steps:
1. Try consciously doing relaxation exercise while masturbation.
2. Lie on your back and visualize the tension draining out of your body as you gently stimulate yourself. An erection does not means that you have to be tensed up in your neck.
3. Enjoy the feelings of performing the act rather being quick to get over with it.
4. Keep your neck relaxed and your eyes closed, enjoy a nice fantasy of your own that you don't have to look at pictures for.
5. You can also masturbate in a warm (not hot) bath with a hot compress on your neck to help it relax.

Drugs like propranolol taken before the act (only under doctor's supervision) can help in reducing headache and heart beat.

For now, you can decrease the frequency of masturbation to once a week. Anyhow, 1-2 times per week is a healthy practice.

I would also advice you to visit your physician to rule out secondary causes of headache. You can get a CT scan of head done after discussing with him. Also, penile Doppler study can be performed to know the status of penile blood vessels after your doctor's advice.

Even the if you have problems with erection, there are drugs which can help in achieving erection.
So you need to relax.
Hope this helps you,
Any further queries are welcome.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
practice kiegel's exercises.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow-up query.
I have some suggestions for you:
1. Hope your eye-sight is fine and not causing headache. Please get it checked.
2. Try to masturbate on imaginative stimuli rather than after watching porn.
3. Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing regularly. You seem to be anxious and worried that you wont be able to masturbate. This is leading you into a vicious cycle of anxiety and inability to masturbate.
4. Practice kiegel's exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
5. Try using propranolol before act under doctor's supervision. Also, drugs like tadalfil can be used to sustain erection after doctor's advice.
6. Get the earlier mentioned tests done to rule medical causes of your problem.

Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
The stomach pain may due to fatigue.

Detailed Answer:
Happy to help you.

I request you to mention in detail the problems which you have in stomach.
Is the stomach problem of acute onset?
Or are you having this stomach problem before the problem of masturbation?
What kind of stomach symptoms do you have? constipation, diarrhea or just only pain?
If only pain is present, does it exacerbate while you try to masturbate or persist always?

I would be able to answer your question better if you could post these details.

But on the basis of your description, there is no relation between your stomach problems, increased heart rate and problem of masturbation. Stomach problems can just be due to infection or muscle fatigue due to excessive masturbation.

Your doctor can examine your stomach by palpating it to get a better idea of your stomach problem.

Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
