Freaky symptoms after ejaculation: Apnoea, fear/overwhelm

[Guest guest]

Hi, this is my first post here. I'm not really sure where to post this, but it

is something that really has me worried. It is going to be awkward to mention to

my doctor, and I imagine he will just try to address the symptoms...

I've just turned 20. On 1st April I had some blood tests done and my

testosterone came back 10 (11-28). I had it retested 2 months later and it came

back 19.0 nmol/L (10.0 - 28.0), my SHBG came back 33.3 nmol/L (14 - 48).

With my testosterone as it is, I am lucky to feel aroused a couple of times a

month. If I don't relieve the tension I usually get a wet dream that same or the

night after, which is preferable to the problems I get if I do it manually...

After ejaculating I start struggling to breathe, what might be described as

air-hunger. Later it feels as though I am getting waking-apnoea and I feel as

though I have to consciously breathe. Then when I try to get to sleep, which is

difficult when I am concentrating on struggling to breathe, I get sleep apnoea

and wake up suddenly; This lasts for a few hours until I am tired enough and

seem to start breathing normally. It can be quite scary as my throat sometimes

becomes paralysed and I struggle to catch my breath initially.

Other symptoms involve feeling fearful and overwhelmed; like when watching TV

the talking can get overwhelming, and particularly looking into staring eyes.

I've never done drugs, but I imagine that is what a bad trip might feel like.

I'm underweight, although I do have quite bad posture (Which I am hoping to see

a physio about soon). I have a vitamin D deficiency: 15.2 ug/L (10.0 - 60.0),

though I can't seem to tolerate supplements well. I suspected some sort of

thyroid problem, but the tests came back mostly normal. I am going to test E2,

LH and FSH, possibly cortisol and parathyroid.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Some hormone dropping

causing my brain to stop regulating breathing? Luckily this problem coincides

with incapacitating fatigue etc. as I couldn't have any sort of relations in

this state.

Please, any suggestions are welcome. My only other hope is to chop it off and

join a monastery, heh.

I can't say what the problems are but sure sounds to me like your having some

kind of panic feelings. I use to have panic attacks and felt about the same way

trouble with air hunger and talking to people. For me this was high levels of

Estradiol E2. There is some thing wrong with your testosterone levels did you

do both tests in the morning. Testing Testosterone the levels will not be the

same every lab your still low even with the higher level. You need more testing

to find out why your low Cortisol, Thyroid, Ferritin, LH, FSH. Read this link

on labs I tell men to get at my Thyroid forum.

Low levels of testosterone and higher levels of E2 can kill ones sex life and

when it works it dose not work right. Don't cut it off when you get to the

bottom of all of this you will be fine.

When you get your next set of labs done get a copy of them and post them here

with the units and ranges.

I would do as Phil advises and add one thing. Go to a sleep clinic and be tested

for sleep apeana. I had it and it caused me a lot of your same symptoms.

Dam good Idea I had this and my wife we lost weight and it went away there is no

way we could use that breathing machine in the hosp. they kept putting it on me

to help me breathe and even though I was out cold I would rip it off.

How did you deal with it? Do you have to wear one of the pressure/breathing

machines every night? Maybe some hormone is making my throat swell and

exacerbating problems caused by my posture. Hopefully it would just be a

temporary solution until my hormones are sorted, I wouldn't want to become

dependent on it.

Going to see the doctor ASAP and mention this, I think delaying it is only

making things worse.
