Cardiological health issues

[Xoomd]

Hello! On week 5 of a simple 300mg test c broken into 100mg 3x a week cycle I had a completely random occurrence of supraventricular tachycardia. I went to the ER for the night and was put on metoprolol and sent home. I continued having TONS of heart palpitations for the next 24hrs. I wound up skipping two doses and began slowly feeling all better. I then resumed taking my test but decreased the dose by half just to test the water. Within 24hr my symptoms all returned just a bit more mild. I again skipped a dose and all my symptoms disappeared. I saw a cardiologist and was very upfront with him about everything. He says though it’s possible this is from the test, he hasn’t seen it before. I’m scared to continue taking it at this point, but also not crazy about just stopping. Anyone have any experiences, or advisement?

This is not your 1st cycle correct? Is your test pharma or UGL? Are you taking any orals with it?

 

[Poppy]

Any pwo…stimulants… are you sure its test?

 

[NeuroRN]

I would test your test. Pretty rare if it’s test. I’d say so rare I don’t really think it’s the testosterone. Switch labs would be my first move.

 

[Poppy]

Brother…post back please. That stuff aint no joke.

 

[Xoomd]

Test is pharma grade. This is my first cycle. I don’t use any preworkouts, stimulants anything, no orals, just been using pharma grade test. First cycle.

 

[NeuroRN]

Sounds like a great time to PCT and spend some time with a cardiologist.

 

[Poppy]

Agree with @NeuroRN

If your test is from a pharmacy then you’ve got something going on.

 

[Xoomd]

Yep… I was hoping if I decreased down to about 200mg I could at least hang on to the TRT type of benefits like increased sex drive. But even at that dose my hearts doing backflips.

 

[Xoomd]

Yep, I have TRT prescribed test. And sponsor test, haven’t even cracked open the sponsor stuff yet. I have a 7-day monitor on right now. And an echo and stress test scheduled for October. Guess I’ll do a nolva pct now and just hang tight til then…

 

[Poppy]

Sounds good. Please keep us posted.

Everyone, cardiologist included say it would be strange to get heart sides from 300mg test. ESPECIALLY because my levels are low to begin with, and the rest of my bloods, lipids, Hematocrit, etc all look perfectly fine, yet within 24hrs of pinning without fail, my heart takes a shit.

 

[NeuroRN]

24hrs of pinning you shouldn’t See any effect from a long ester test? Right @Poppy? I can’t remember the breakdown timeline.

 

[Xoomd]

Between about 24-48 of resuming pinning my sides start to return.

 

[Poppy]

Should peak at ~48 hours if I remember right. Start crashing at 4 days…

24 hours is very early to get anything…

 

[Poppy]

Your right there at it… I’ve never heard of heart palpitations from test. Especially such a low dose. You’ve got me stumped. I believe you’re on track by seeing a doc.

 

[NeuroRN]

Yup. Nolva. Clomid. And come off the test and see if the symptoms continue.

 

[Xoomd]

Yep, I’ve done a lot of searching. Was hoping it would be something easy like, oh not hydrating enough, etc, seems like my system just cannot handle test for whatever reason.

 

[Poppy]

I’m thinking there might be some other underlying condition. Just do like your doing and see cardiologist. It might be something way out there that can be solved and you can continue with trt.

 

[Xoomd]

That would be ideal. I will continue to be transparent, and work with cardiology / endocrinology, don’t want to ruin my life.
