This is truly horrible!Feels as if something is destryoing my lungs from inside! I really need help with this.I cant tell if this was a panic attack or something more severe as asthma or heart failure, can someone else here give me something to go on, have you been diagnosed with asthma or heart problem etc?Hello, johanstefansson, I hope you're feeling much better by now!!It's impossible for anyone here to know if the shortness of breath is caused by a panic attack or a physical problem. (A panic attack can feel even worse than a heart attack because of the extreme anxiety that accompanies it.) You wrote your post at least two hours ago. If you're breathing is not 100% better by now -- go to the emergency room or local walk-in clinic. Even if it's a panic attack -- at least you'll get evaluated and treated. Stef

Interesting questions for those that have cognitive symptoms:- Does anyone suspect their POIS in any way is related to sinus issues or a dry stuffy nose?- Does anyone have pressure in head/behind eyes, accentuated especially when moving eyes from the very left and to very right? (try this)- Does anyone have a pressure within head that can shift areas and sides? (sometimes controllably)- Does this pressure subside over time, and as the pressure lessens, the cognitive symptoms get lighter?- Does doing something that requires you to shift gravitational position, such as a handstand, or bending over, makes you feel like your head is about to explode?- Does the cognitive symptoms never seem to fully recover?The reason why I ask these is for diagnosing the cause of cognitive dysfunction, it might be very hard to find the solution by first identifying the problem and then testing treatments, or even looking directly for a root cause of POIS (which seems to be different for different people). Too many things may be the cause of cognitive symptoms such as brain fog. It might be easier to describe physical manifestations of POIS related to the head and brain and link that to pre-existing medical conditions that are more documented (maybe this will help shed light).I have seen at least a couple members that mentioned something regarding "pressure" and "cerebral vasoconstriction" and "blood flow", and realized that these most likely fall under the same category.I hypothesize a couple things for cognitive POIS:- In some way related to decrease or irregularity in cerebral blood flow- Maybe related to air/pressure inside the head- Could be a pre-existing medical condition worsened by orgasms- Could possibly be linked to sinus problems

Quote from: curedone2013 on 17/06/2013 01:18:59Hi guys, I am new to this forum. I really think I am on to something here. It is very different from what I have believed before regarding my symptoms.I wanted to share my struggle and recent success with fighting POIS. From my experience with it, I believe that POIS is a form of a lipid disorder that leads to the other downstream effects we all have experienced. I have been struggling with the effects of this syndrome for about 7 years until the last few weeks. Previously after ejaculation, within 1/2 hour I would start feeling brain fog, really tired, sore eyes, complete lack of focus/retention of anything new, general sickness, complete lack of sex drive, muscle weakness, and soreness in my joints which increased for about 2 days and then would begin to subside and I would feel normal again after about 6 days. These symptoms began during my undergraduate years and I'm now in my doctorate to become a health care professional. These symptoms have basically ruined my life especially when it come to trying to treat patients on days where I can't even remember how to do basic things I have learned because of the disorder. I recently started drinking olive oil, increased the amount of fat in my diet, and take fenugreek and I noticed that I would feel a LOT better. Then it made me start thinking about why that may be. I know that one thing that I changed around the time I began feeling POIS symptoms 7 years ago was that, I completely eliminate most fats from my diet. I would not eat anything fried or heavy/ etc. After sometime, I realized that when I would eat something fatty, I would get headaches and it would exacerbate my symptoms if I had recently ejaculated. Therefore as a result, I would continue to completely avoid fats/ oily food. So as to propose a mechanism of action for the disorder, I know a lot about physiological science but this explanation to me doesn't make sure sense for now but its what I believe from what I have experienced. I believe that after ejaculation, something is happening with our lipids. Perhaps they are being used as an energy source for the ejaculation and if the lipid levels are too low, our bodies are getting the energy sources from somewhere else that it is not suppose to be. Maybe proteins and as a result your body is breaking down specific proteins for energy that it shouldn't be so our bodies ellicit an antibody mediate response against our own proteins which leads to the symptoms that seem like an autoimmune disease. I find that when I increased the amount of oils/ lipids in my body via eating a higher fat diet, drinking olive oil, and fenugreek my symptoms seem like they are going to come on but then are COMPLETELY GONE WITHIN A FEW HOURS!!! Within the last 2-3 weeks, I haven't felt more than 10% of the original POIS symtoms at any time. I have had sex probably 20 times during that time period because it has been almost a decade since I could enjoy sex and not feel my impending doom afterwards. I never in my life to say this after all the doctors I have seen who didn't know what to tell me. In addition, I have been taking a test booster (Kiazen PM) but I don't know if that has anything to do with the results, I was just taking that for my loss of libido/ low test symptoms from the POIS. Guys, I really hope this is something that will help everyone. If you guys could try this and let me know, that will be great. I am almost in tears while writing this post because POIS has ruined a large period of time in my life that I will never get back. Now, I have been having sex and feeling great for almost 3 weeks now. I will provide an update on how I feel in a couple weeks and let you know if anything has changed. I hope this can be a new beginning for everyone. I'm back after a long and non-POIS related illness. The fat consumption suggestion is a really interesting idea. The connection could be Acetylcholine and Acetyl-CoA. The latter is used in fatty acid synthesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl-CoA [nofollow]The former is a neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholine [nofollow]I noticed that I felt most drained not after an O but after a night when I had many erections. These require Acetylcholine to be produced, using up the bodies supply of Acetyl CoA. It's very difficult to talk about symptoms of high and low acetylcholine as it will cycle. i.e. anyone who has looked at it will notice that high and low Acetylcholine have similar symptoms. Examples include concentration issues and eye control problems which may mimic a mild form of myasthenia gravis. (I don't have myasthenia gravis - although the antibodies test appears to not be 100% reliable - but I definitely have POIS related eye muscle control problems). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasthenia_gravis [nofollow]Glucose metabolism also reduces Acetyl-CoA levels in favour of Malonyl-CoA (I think) and many of us report feeling "brain fog" after consuming a lot of sugary drinks. I know I do. Acetyl-CoA depletion may also produce symptoms of hypoglycemia and hunger as the person cannot adequately convert fats into energy. Fat intake may increase the rate of synthesis of Acetyl-CoA and perhaps, as a byproduct of this, permit a faster normalising of the levels of acetylcholine following an erection. Ideally, this would be supported by vitamins B1, vitamin B5 (multivitamins have enough b5 tbh) and possibly additional acetyl-carnitine. Carnitine has been positively evaluated for treatment of Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiencyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malonyl-CoA_decarboxylase_deficiency [nofollow]Acetyl-carnitine is an acetylcholine receptor agonist. As Herman has pointed out a few times, nicotine mimics acetylcholine at its respective receptors also. I read a theory of acne a few years back that suggested low Acetyl-CoA was a contributing factor as it would increase fats in the sebacious glands. I'm saying "contributing factor" rather than cause and I know that there are POIS sufferers who don't have acne. Anyway, Acetyl-CoA is one more thing to think about.

I have had these symptoms for too many years. I also had a good few sinus operations about 15 years ago, and have been using Cortisone Nasal Spray daily for about 20 years to keep my sinuses clear. I now also use a PH balance Netipot that helps keep sinuses germ free. I don't know whether the root cause and cognitive symptoms are because of Sinus issues or whether the Sinus affected element is just one of many spin offs from orgasm. My sinus pressure has always gotten a lot worse for 3 days after O.My History...Close on 40 years with POIS. Until 6 months ago when I found these forums, I thought I was the only bloke in the world with this condition. Am now hopeful about the research and see a reason to hang in.For 3 days post Orgasm...My symptoms are headaches, cognitive melt down, poor mental functioning, irritability, depression, dermatalogical flare up, sinus flare up, mild to moderate social phobia. Symptoms (including Sinus pressure) subside, to 50% of the impact after day 3 beyond O.
