Rapid heartbeat can lead to other diseases?

I have been ejaculating while holding a pillow about four to five times a week for several years.
One day after ejaculation, my heart started racing extremely fast, to the point where I felt unable to do anything, which was quite frightening.
Here are the symptoms I experienced after ejaculation: 1.
My heart raced for five days without seeing a doctor.
2.
I experienced some difficulty breathing, but I have no pre-existing health conditions.
Could excessive ejaculation lead to a rapid heartbeat or other health issues?

More Info

Frequent ejaculation, particularly when it occurs multiple times a week, can lead to various physiological responses in the body, including changes in heart rate. While it is not typically associated with serious health issues, it can be linked to temporary increases in heart rate and other sensations that may cause concern.

When a person ejaculates, the body undergoes a series of physiological changes. This includes the release of various hormones, such as oxytocin and prolactin, which can influence heart rate and blood pressure. The excitement and physical exertion associated with sexual activity can also lead to an increased heart rate, similar to what one might experience during exercise.
In your case, experiencing a rapid heartbeat for five days following ejaculation is unusual and warrants attention. While it is possible that the rapid heartbeat could be related to the frequency of ejaculation, it is essential to consider other factors that might contribute to this condition. Stress, anxiety, dehydration, or even caffeine intake can exacerbate heart rate issues. Additionally, if you are experiencing difficulty breathing, this could indicate a more serious underlying condition that should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

It is important to note that while occasional rapid heartbeats (tachycardia) can occur and may not be a cause for alarm, persistent or severe symptoms should not be ignored. If you are experiencing a rapid heartbeat that lasts for an extended period, or if you have accompanying symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or dizziness, it is crucial to seek medical attention. A healthcare provider can perform a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly other tests to rule out any underlying cardiac issues.

In summary, while frequent ejaculation can lead to temporary changes in heart rate, persistent rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing are not typical and should be investigated further. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure that there are no underlying health concerns that need to be addressed. Taking care of your overall health, managing stress, and staying hydrated can also help mitigate some of these symptoms.
