Saturday I injected 2cc's of decca 600mgs total into my shoulder. When I removed the needle I started to feel dizzy so I walked out of the bathroom and actually bounced off the walls in my hallway on my way to my room where I laid face down on the floor. I felt like I was going to pass out. I was sweating and the tv was on in my room and when i first went into my room after the injection i could not understand what the people on the tv were saying because i was so out of it. It took me about 5 minutes to come back to normal and actually be able to understand the people in the tv and be coherent. scary experience. anyone ever have a incident like this? why does this happen?

I had a similar experience the first time I hit a vein and pulled blood back into the plunger, freaked my shit out!

and THEN I had to re-inject. my pulse was racing, hands started shaking, got real dizzy and had shortness of breath. a friend told me it sounded like I experienced a mild case of shock. So now I have someone do my injections, I know, I'm a wuss, but as long as I'm not watching things go much better.

~~ just sharing my experience. the vets/mods should be able to shed more light.

However, it got better and better, until I am where I am now, many years later, able to stick myself with 2 hands tied behine my back ...Good luck!

Deca shot, the second time I did it made me start coughing and feeling bad for about 5 min right after the shot. Never happen again since.

I posted this reply in another thread....same question...same answer....

It sounds like what you had was a “vasovagal response with near syncope”. That’s just a medical term for “almost fainting”. Vasovagal responses are common, especially in young people who are otherwise entirely healthy.

A vasovagal response is caused by a neurological reflex originating in the brainstem. An event (e.g. pain, fright, hard coughing, difficult urination, standing too long in one position, etc.) causes the brainstem to send out signals through the nerves that results in a sudden dilation of the blood vessels in the legs, and a slowing of the heart rate. When the blood vessels in the leg suddenly dilate, the blood pools there, and the heart stops receiving the volume of blood it needs to pump effectively. Without proper blood flow, the brain stops getting the oxygen it needs, and you pass out (syncope) or almost pass out (near syncope). As soon as you pass out and fall down, gravity allows the blood to reach the heart, effective pumping resumes, and consciousness returns within seconds.

Most people have at least a few seconds of warning before they pass out. Often they will experience lightheadedness or dizziness, funny changes in their vision, mild nausea, or a "buzzing" sensation. If you immediately lie down and elevate your legs when the warning occurs, you can virtually always avoid fainting.
