  3. Hey man,
    I relate to what you are mentioning. I get high blood pressure too and this started to come clearly after excessive PMO. This also is combined with high rate of Heart palpitations. And these symptoms would come usually after edging, or after a week of no PMO. There are some similar situations were mentioned here. I think it is related to hypertension caused by PMO. As PMO has a relation in causing Anxiety (could reach GAD in some cases).

    If you are having a long streak it could be a withdrawal symptom or a repeated symptom. Just do not worry about it, once you get into such situation relax yourself and sit properly.

    But if you are aware of anything else, it is better to visit a Dr. If everything is clear and he says you are hypertensive, then you need to consider PMO as a cause in this.

    It will resolve by itself by time. Just focus on avoiding any sort of edge as best as you can.

    Goood luck!

  4. And one more thing, do your best in avoiding the stressing conditions, whether it is related to work, exams, family. This will help a lot.

    How old are u OP? And of course, you should see a doctor. Based on your blood pressure, you have hypertension. I dont know if PMO is relevant or not, but always be careful, high blood pressure is called "silent killer" for a reason.

  8. Also I highly recommend you to avoid caffeine, and bad habits in general, as staying up at night, long exposure to screen and long sitting. Have exercise, have a healthy meal, drink enough water and live a healthy lifestyle. The PMO starts from a bad habit that we never considered, and the symptoms are recovered or get worse depending on such habits as well.

    Stay optimistic and again, it is better to check on a doctor and see what he suggests, he might give some tests, if they are all clear then do not take tension. Good luck!

    I had the exact same thing, and mine was caused by years of excessive edging. I've been doing NoFap for almost 17 months now, and all these problems are finally just starting to heal. It can take a long time to correct itself if you were heavily into PMO for a long time.

  11. I don't know if this will help you.. I have been experiencing heart palpitations for two years. This was sometimes happens for no reason. (Even when I'm not thinking of anything sexual.). This problem has increased even more when I just started Rebooting. But I noticed that palpitation frequency decreased over time. After 9 months without PMO, it is almost completely gone. It happens to me quite rarely. I believe P and M cause these types of heart problems. The reason for this is not rebooting to me. So your problem may be related to PMO, but you should still go to the doctor and check if you have a physical problem.

    Ok .. I will go to doc for checkup........ to make things clear..... one question .. How do u deal with triggers..?? I am struggling by it.. because everythng triggers me .. like any actress , or attractive women.. even if modestly dressed... I have quit watching movies, T.Vs, .. But I cant go like it... I want to live normally... so since last month I have started facing them... sometimes i get triggered and sometimes not... Should I go like it... ???
     
  14. Hmm , i don't know ,brother. I have the same problem as you. I feel strange feelings and my eyes automatically goes sexual things when I see woman on the screen. Just like look an object...This problem was not present when I first started rebooting , because after being bombarded by p it was quite difficult to be affected by normal things..I used to go to cinema and in most of them I was almost never triggered. After a while,I noticed that everything i watch looks like P.. Like i said i experienced hypersentivity as you. 300 days ago, In my previous streak I started watching movies and TV shows to deal with this hypersensitivity, but it felt pretty bad to me. And i relapsed when i test myself on Youtube. That streak was 140 days , and ended in pain... That's why I'm going clean now. Like you , i don't watch TV , movies, series and other stuff. Also, a few months ago I went to the movies to face myself. That was a PG movie, A woman in the movie extremely aroused me. I got an erection and was quite anxious. When I looked at my friends and other people in the movie theater, I realized that I was the only horny man. I still had strong urges when I got home and soothed this with hundreds of push ups and burpees. That was hard. And I realized again that I had to go clean... As you noticed, you can watch a TV show to get sexual dopamine by looking at the women there, and I think it's no different from seeking to me.. But you prefer to watch that stuff now. How do you feel, are you less triggered? or are you less affected now ? I think you still look like anxious on this matter. Also do you think are you heavily addicted ? If you ask me , yes i was and that's sucks...

    Also this is my thread -> https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/hypersexualized-culture.283391/
    That's also good thread and you migt find many useful things in there.

    Earlier I was hardcore avoiding them.. and even glimpse was triggering me .. then I started to look at their eyes only... and whenever I see their face I get trigger.. but eyes , I started to get less trigger...But the problem is When any women comes .. i try too hard to look at their eyes that I forget to watch the scene, or dialogue of movie.....SO now I am trying to look at them all..And not focus on them too much.... Its been 76 days.. And I didnt relapse even though I got triggered many times in this practice... I dont know If it will work this time ...
