    its all OVER

    well im in my 4 week of sus 500mg a week. For the past week my heart has been going supper fsat. like 95-100 all day. I went to the doctor yesterday but didn't tell him about the juice and my blood presure was a little high and we did that heart checking thing with all those wires on your body. He said that was a little high but I just can't take it anymore. It feels like my heart about to explode. After 4 weeks do i need to take clomid??

    Good call bro! It's always best to keep your health as the #1 priority. You can always try less androgenous gear or smaller doses as long as you're still alive, LOL.

    I wouldn't take any clomid in your condition because of the possibility of sides. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to ride this out a bit longer because of the 100mg testosterone deacanoate in the Sustanon . I would run 20mg of nolvadex for a few weeks starting 2-3 weeks from today.

    Keep us informed with your progress!

    Bro, same shit happened to me. I also went to the Dr and got a EKG done. It felt like my heart was skipping a beat,and when I laid down, It would pound through the floor. He told me I was fine. It's smart if you want to quit, but it also might have to do with freaking yourself out. After awhile, it seems to go away...

    BLT, I honestly cannot believe I'm reading this. Not to be a dick, but you just experienced a tragic loss in your life that most likely was due to AAS usage and/or exo GH. You, above all people, should know that your health is not something to **** with. YOU may have underlying pathologies developing as a direct result from your use that do not show up on an EKG or blood tests. These drugs DO affect your physiology in ways that not any one person completely understands.

    eshestun, you definitely made the right call to stop everything. Let your body get back to homeostasis and then consider trying something else, if anything at all. Man, I'll take living over dieing any day!

    Things should start to improve within the week. But that may be a bit optomistic. This is exactly the problem with the longer-acting meds. They stay with you for a very long time. Try not to consciously dwell on your sides because that will make matters worse.

    Listen to your body. If you feel like you want to stop, then do it. This is not the time to ignore the side effects--especially if you feel uncomfortable.

    4 weeks is enough to suppress your natural test levels, but not by much. You will probably regain your natural test levels in a few weeks without clomid. If I were you, I'd save the clomid for later, in case you choose try another cycle.

    You handled your situation well by going to the doctor when your body was giving you bad signals--congrats on using you head.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    GoldenEar, I in no way was telling him NOT to quit. I think you misunderstood me and my post probably came out wrong. I think it's ABSOLUTLEY the best thing he could do. I was just telling him I had the same thing happen to me, but the good news with me is it went away. I applaud his decision. I saw my Dr. before, during and after my cycle. I am seeing him again tomorrow. I am still even wondering if I should do another cycle.

    Same thing for me, I ran 750mgs a week of Tornels Super Shit 250 and had shortness of breath and felt like my heart was either beating real hard or skipping. Just wasn't right, Tornels sus is known for that so I stayed on and it went away around weeks 7-8, or I just got used to it. Good call though if you feel bad.

    Again, same symptons happened to me. Shortness of breath, Couldn't sleep, etc....I was freaking out like no other. But, In my case, (MY CASE) most of it had to do with me being VERY paranoid because it was my first cycle. But my dr. gave me a full physical, and though he didn't like that I was doing AS, everything checked out. After he told me I was fine, Everything seemed to go away that day. So in my case, I tend to freak out pretty easy.

    But like most people have said, the best thing to do is listen to your OWN body, and make the right decision.

    Again, guys, this does not mean that everything is ok. A full physical is not the same thing as an echocardiogram. Just because your symptoms subside does not mean that physiological changes are not transpiring.

    Tachycardia is a heart rate (HR) greater than 100 beats per minute so you were borderline. Smokers tend to have HR in th 80s-90s. Are you a smoker or in poor cardiovascular condition? Either one combined with test could elevate your HR. What was your baseline HR before you started? Was it high? If so an increase into the 90s wouldn't seem unusual. Were you at risk? A normal EKG would suggest adequate perfusion to your heart muscle so probably not. It was a good idea to stop if you believed your body was not handling the stress of 500 mg of sustanon . If you consider getting back on stay away from sust and try lower doses of test enth or cyp which take longer to accumulate in your system. If you are able to tolerate that bump it up.

    I know, this is one of those things you think about right before bed "was that MY heart?!?". You never believe that you are hurting yourself but what about down the road? I am 27 and am on my 4th cycle and it does cross my mind about long term damage.

    I did Sust250 twice....I hated every min. of it...shortness of breath was the worst...I felt like a fat guy after an all-u can eat...I was told by people I knew that Sust250 was so safe with little sides...bull shit...in my opinion there are much better AS out there that make you feel good and work a hell of alot better(Test Enth for one).

    Guys, we're talking about testosterone here. It doesn't matter if it comes from Sustanon or Enanthate , Cyp, or Propio. Once the ester is removed, the testosterone compound from any of those products will exert exactly the same physiological effect. The only thing that varies between the products, all things being held equal, is the delay between injection and bioavailability caused by the ester (and any pooling at the injection site <--- irrelevant to my point). markas214 hinted at this in his post. It's TIMING. Timing of the release of testo from the ester will affect the true dose that is hitting your physiology at any given point in time.

    Trying to figure out Sustanon can be very confusing because of the 4-ester blend. That doesn't mean you won't run into problems with a single esterified product, though. It's always best to start low and adjust the dose if required. Because once you put it in, you can't get it back, LOL.

    I think people underestimate the value that true anabolics like Deca bring to the table. It's my opinion that most of these problems listed in this thread are directly related to the androgenicity of testo. That's all I'll say - I've got to go eat.

    not really a smoker, just here and there. My hr was normal before the sus. I don't really run a lot cause im trying to bulk.

    I think you could be just freaked out. I am not even on anything but you are describing symptoms I have now because I am getting all psycologically worked up about taking first shots this weekend or so... I may post pone it a week just to let these nerves settle down. You know things like "what if I inject a bad fungi spore and it grows in my heart?", "hit a blood vessle and die", what if my cholesterol goes thru the roof and I have heart attack and I am sure all the things you are are staying up half the night worried about are already running thru my brain too and currently causing me anxiety like I aint ever had before and I aint on anything yet.

    It is your body and you should definetely make the decision. I do want to point out that these sides are common to almost everyone who does AAS. An increase in BP and increase in heart rate along with sleeplessness are experience by most people at some point during a cycle. Deca in my opinion is the worst for elevating BP. A good anti-e and clean diet can help some but if these sides are unacceptable to you then AAS probably is not something you should consider in the future. I personally would use clomid after bein on sus for four weeks.

    Looking back I've always wondered how much of the sides I had like elevated resting pulse were due to gear or just my own anxieties about using the stuff for the first time. I still haven't figured it out. I know if I did a shot in the evening I had trouble sleeping not from the gear but just from the adrenalin from giving myself a shot -I had to stop doing them late in the day for that reason.

    You cant go see him and say, I am an adult and I made a decision to do this, dont tell my mom or family because I will hold you to doctor/patient confidentiality.

    I think doctors are more with it then you believe and can understand the motivations for a man to want to try steroids . Maybe you should lower dose some, also it would help if you talk to doctor and ask for prescription for valium. Valium is "for" anxiety and also lowers heart rate, etc, you'll get some sleep, etc. Tell doctor its temporary and only want it for while on cycle.

    Otherwise you can go to GNC/Health food store and purchase some valarium root extract, this is what valium is made from. Have to pop like 5 or 6 of those things to be equivalent to valium but I think it would help calm you down some.

    I was complaining about all that anxiety in past messages, well neighbor gave me a valium and wow! Slept like a baby, no anxiety last night about up coming start of my cycle, actually it helped break me of the anxiety and feeling much better today.

    I´ve had some serious problems with my heart rate.. I´ve had 114 per minute when relaxing and shortness of breath and it got worse because I was just paranoid, so I just relaxed and cleared my mind and that only got rid of my problems. Still doing sus and feeling fine.

    Now I'm a bit more concerned. Please describe your chest pain. What brings it on, does it radiate into your arm or neck, is there anything that gives you relief, is it burning,sharp dull, heavey, In what part of your chest are you feeling it, dio you become short of breath or starting sweating while having the pain, is there a history of heart disease in your family? I would assume your Dr did cardiac enzymes and a lipid profile when you were examined. Were you told you have high cholesterol? If you start having pain that radiates and causes shortness of breath or sweating you need to go to the ER and have a complete cardiac workup immediately. They'll probably admit you band schedule an exercise stress test.

    I had the same thing also. Shortness of breath, fast heart rate, night sweats (only for a week at about week 7) Couldnt sleep (two weeks during 7-8)
    I knew it wasnt normal but I rode it out. If it got worse then it would have concerned me. It stayed stable then disipated.

    My logic is: Fast heartbeat. I got on the tread mill and made it go faster. If it was gonna get worse I made sure my body was used to it. I had to see how much my body could handle if it did get worse.
    But like everyone else says "you know your body"
    Some people have better genetics and can handle different stress on their body.
    Some people just are genetically built for some things.
    STAY SAFE BRO...

    Well if the pain is right dead down the center and not towards the left side, this can be a cramp of the esophagus (I know I spelled that terrible), its not unheard of to get cramps in the pipe connecting the throat to the stomach when you are not getting enough sleep.

    Do not wait it out if you have chest pain, go to the doc or ER immediately. If it is a coronary episode, heart muscle tissue dies every minute and can never be replaced.

    The big problem I see here is the fact that he went to his doc, but didn't tell him about the AAS use. How in the hell is he supposed to help if he doesn't have all the information available. If your car was making strange noises and you took it to a mechanic but didn't tell him what you may have done to cause it, would he be able to easily diagnose and fix the problem? Probably not. If you're not gonna tell the doc what you did to get you here, then it is a wasted trip IMO.

    I'm glad you went to your DR. and was honest with him....Remember, EVERYONE is different. Just because things were OK with myself and other guys, I'm sure EVERYONE on here wants to make sure your OK. Listen to your body and do whats best for you!!!!
