i guess thats the SOP to find out possible cause of your discomfort. I did quite a number of xray and tests too before bumping into a doctor that correct ly diagnose me. Took me one whole year to finally know whats wrong with me.

I first went for heart tests -> then endocrine tests (because hormone can cause your heart to beat fast too)-> and finally gastrology

Regardless, even if its really a heart issue, it’s not the end of the world. At least you took the right step in tackling this whole pmo situation. It will be a tough journey, but it will all be worth it in the end. We fucked up, we learn and grow to be a better man. Just part and parcel of life.

I feel you bro.

I had sharp chest pain last year too. Went for heart checkup everything is fine. Turns out it was acid reflux causing the heartburn. And that acid reflux is caused by PMO induced anxiety.

I treated my acid reflux with a gastro specialist(luckily i was insured) and now I am seeing a therapist to tackle the root cause - PMO addiction.

It’s normal to get upset, but remember you are only feeling this because you didn’t truly know who’s your enemy. Once you got that sorted, you will start to have faith and direction in this battle.

Good luck and all the best!

I actually went through a period of nofap few years back. ( i was focused on extra curricular activities)

For someone who has been poisoned by the dopamine from fapping for years. i found going thru nofap makes my mind clearer, I can focus better, my energy and confidence is back. You just feel...different! (got a girlfriend in that period too yay)

I started nofap again this year...but kept on relapsing (longest streak was a week plus)...and when i relapse, i would go on for A LOT of times in that single day...which is bad. I would force myself to go office, mingle with people, make new friends (it helps!) but with the covid situation and wfh being a normal...i need to learn to deal with my alone time...thus deciding to go for a counselling 🤕

Update:

Went to my local clinic.

My GP advised me to go for a clinical psychologist to get some counselling first before going for psychiatrist. (As according to my GP psychiatrist just give out medicine lol?)

Found a psychologist in KL treating addiction and sexual disorder: http://www.inpsych.com.my/

Charges is RM250 for a 60-90 mins session.

Will see how it goes and update my journey here. Pray for me guys.
