    I've officially quit pmo... This forum is awesome.
    Anyway, when m to p has anyone struggled with horrible heart palpitations during? It has to be an adrenalin /anxiety / stressed thing. My heart is fine, as soon as I was done the palps stopped but there's been many times my heart is going haywire the entire time and my addict self would rather continue than stop.
    I'm sober 11 days now, this is when I hear the withdrawal can get real bad.

    Yeah, I get heart palpitations too with M. I never really thought much of it since I get them in other situations as well. Fortunately they're not dangerous (I think).

    I get palps in other situations too but it's almost a guarantee while watching p my heart will flop and flip like crazy.
    They aren't dangerous as long as you don't get really dizzy or pass out. I've had tests done on my heart and it's really strong but some people just have an "excited heart" when adrenaline is pulsing thru veins.

    Yes, it's 2:20 AM where I am and I can't sleep; I was thinking about PMO and my heart started pounding like crazy. I just had to get up and walk around, this is triggering panic attacks.

    It happened in the past when I was typing in a url or going to a bookmarked porn site too, I got excited about what I knew was coming up and it was a huge rush. Very frustrating, but I think it's normal for us addicts.
     
  5. Yep, each time i abstain for long time and when i watch porn my heart starts to beat heavily and my whole body shakes.
    That does not happen all the time but it happens often

    Stezy, Good for you for 13 days. We are all trying to make it. If you ever get the palpitations again, try counting how many beats per minute, and also if it is regular but fast (like a clock going too fast) or irregular. Most common reason would be the effect of adrenaline, causing your heart rate to simply speed up. Usually, if that is the case, the rate will be 120-150, and regular. If it is >160 or irregular, then there might be other reasons.

    Yeah I get them too. It's the dopamine rush, and it's really annoying.

    I read a tip about getting your heart slowed down somewhere: breath in during 5 heart beats, then breath out during 5 heart beats. It seems to work, especially if you do deep breathing.

    I have these too and actually never made a connection between heart palpitations and masturbation to porn. I was at a doctor a year ago and this is completely harmless (keep in mind that I had some screening with the doctor). I had a period (approx. one year) in my life where I used to PMO a lot due to manage the stress I had. In this period also started this heart palpitations. I even had a few meetings with a psychologist and he told me in the end he actually had no idea why I want to meet with him. According to him I seem fine. But he confirmed that stress could trigger heart palpitations as well. Nonetheless now I think this could be really come because of over masturbation. Right now I am about 35 days in without PMO in hardmode. Last week I felt 2 days where I think I met my real libido. Today I feel again very asexual. Crazy shit... really people stop this PMO shit, it is not worth it.

    I am on day 22, Nobody would have felt withdrawal symptoms as tough as I have felt, it jolted me but thing to remind is that they will paas, you should b persevere in recovery, You r porn and masturbation addict thats it, remember after these tough withdrawal you will be better ever, the same thing is happening with me, since withdrawal somedays has been worse but also some days brings new energy and joy, I am suffering from high blood pressure probably because of abstaining but this only happens when my brain is craving and urging, the good news is you will feel better once again. Its better to get rid off these crappy porn addiction right now, don't relapse, now I realised that the porn I was watching has nothing to do with the reality. Do remember to pray God each day and say sorry for playing with our body parts just for pleasure. I am also abstaining for that same hope because I want my life back. All d best. You can do it.

    I've had some issues with heart palpitations, I got them to stop by cutting out all caffeine and alcohol use. Drinking plenty of water and exercising a couple times a week.

  12. I'm in the same situation my friend and I'm 32 years, heart pains, palps, vision problems, headaches etc. I have come to learn that you cannot win this battle on your own. This addiction gets completely weakened if you fight it with the help of someone you trust. Their physical presence alone will drive all urges away.

    You shall overcome my friend. You are not alone.
