    Sleep Apnea and PCT

    I was wondering if anyone has had this experience.

    I just did a second PCT because the first one I did last year did not work great.

    In the last few weeks of PCT I started getting a lot of energy and at the same time
    my sleep apnea got worse. Like as I my energy and drive went up the sleep apnea got
    worse.

    So could the increase in my own bodies testosterne during cause this?

    Like I would wake up more, heart beating harder and less rested.
    It really sucks and to top it all off sleep apnea causes lower test production in and of itself.

    If I have to become a pencil neck to get rid of this I will because
    I do not want a heart attack and I want my own testosterone to return.


    I am also overweight and I need to lose 50 lbs (lost 10 in the last month)

    What cycle did you do a year ago? What happened to first pct, were you overweight when you did cycle?

    Well the cycle I did last year was

    from August thru Sept 2006 Tren Ace 75mg a day for four or five weeks
    and test eth 250 a week for 6 weeks

    I was overweight at 255 and 6'2 and I am 40 years old and I have just gotten a sleep apnea machine. My neck is 18 and 1/2 inche and it is short.
    It used to be 16 1/2 so That is part of the problem as well.

    I have had my body fat tested recently and I am 200 lbs muscle bone etc

    I made the mistake of juicing and not understanding my weight effecting sleep apnea and that sleep apnea in itself causes low test production naturally because you do not get enough oxygen in the blood from rest.

    Anyway my PCT then in September 2006 was just Nolva and Clomid the standard protocol with no HCG for 4 weeks

    My balls came back then but to what degree I do not know.

    At about 6 weeks from start of the first PCT most of my libido returned and I thought I was ok.
    within less than a month later I made my next GIANT mistake.

    I taking large doses daily like 60mg
    of oxycontin for my back since I had surgery a few years ago.
    I used to be on it then as well.

    Well anyway I did this for six weeks and when I stopped it shut down my test production to NILL my balls started getting smaller and squishy and so I knew I was in trouble.

    I also gained more weight and I ballooned to 275. I tried HRT for a few weeks and my sleep apnea got worse, my ball shrunk even more and I did not like how I felt so I said I was going to do another PCT this time with HCG and Nolva and Clomid as well as and AI's Arimadex and Letro.

    Anyway I am four days away from finishing my second PCT.
    My energy went way up but as it went up my sleep apnea got worse
    and killed my rest.

    Since I dropped the letro which was a week and three days ago
    my blood pressure have gone up and my libido has been sent packing.

    All this stuff has screwed up my life. My girlfriend left me because I was not banging her enough and she did not understand what was wrong with me
    and why my libido has been in the tank the last few months.

    So at this point my only goal in life is to get my health back.
    I have lost 10lbs in the last three weeks and I will continue until I get
    to 205 or whatever weight I have to in order to be free of sleep apnea.

    I am living a pretty messed up story

    as you said being over weight can cause sleep apnea it can also cause low libido---I wonder what your estrogen levels and test levels are--you may want to go to dr and get those tested

    Well if I had insurance I might do that.
    I just do not want to be on HRT for the following reason.

    1.I can not find a doctor who is competent to treat it.
    2. I have to see them every 3 months and get blood work.
    3. My life is ***endent on the whims of doctors.
    4. Financially it is very expensive to have insurance if you are self employed as I am.
    5. I want to have children and a family and I am afraid being on HRT will screw that up and not to mention my balls shrink up to nothing.

    So I am just going to have to get my weight down and hope that everything returns health wise. If in six months I still have not libido and my test levels are zilch I will have to go the way but I do not want too.

    you dont have to go on hrt if you get tests run it would just give you an idea of whats going on in your body--but I do understand the costs I have good insurance but we,as a family spent around $9000 last year on medical counting premiums--too bad we are not illegal aliens from mexico we could get everything free
    and also I am on hrt and want another child so if wife doesnt get pregnant soon may get off for awhile--it usually takes a few months to come back

    Yeah when your health and your test levels are zilch it is the worse.
    It sucks ten times more when you are with a woman for a few months that you care about and she bolts on you because you are not giving it to her and she can't see that your ever going to get well. At least you have your family Tapout, you are lucky
