Elevated pulse and heart rate while resting

**mockery** · 08-23-2012, 10:30 AM

sitting on the couch last night watching a movie and seen my calve pumping at a rather fast rate so checked my pulse etc... was running very high alot higher then normal and i was half asleep trying to use heat pats on my hammies. Ive been checking my bp through out the day a few times a week and its always been great. I know it changes alot on mood and time of day stress and everything else. Should i be looking into buying cialis or something to help if my bed time heart rate its pumping like that while on aas? even right now my pulse is a bit quicker then usual and all im doing is drinking my breakfast and sitting at the computer being a nerd.

Thanks!

What is your diet like? Also what are you taking?

cialis will not help your heart rate

What are we talking when we talk about lower carbs? and I'm assuming your in a caloric deficient since you're running mainly cutting compounds on lower carbs?

When have you carbed up? If I go excessive days on low carbs I begin to experience headaches, insomnia, high bp, raise in my anxiety, sluggishness among others. Being on cycle can increase these sides as well from my experience compared to if you were natural.

no no low carb days for me right now are still 150ish to help control blood sugar levels while on gear. i do 4 day cycles so today ill have around 300 carbs.

Ok, I would see how you feel after consuming 300g carbs. Has this happened to you before, are you introducing anything new for the first time?

I experienced the same sides if i drop my calories to low as well.

First time with var. Mast is only beeing ran at 400mg so not even really noticle in my experince unless i go well over 600, but my test is more of a dirty street lab , ive never had test this crappy in my life in terms of pip and lumps.

hrmmm im playing with my daily calorie needs and even eating in and around maintance im still gaining weight at a regular slow but good rate. IM trying hard to really crack what my tdee is, 405 and myself are finding the formulas flawed.

Sounds like you're beat up lol. If you're feeling like you have a nasty flu I would take a day to rest, especially if you've been training hard. Whens the last time you took a rest day and how many hours of sleep do you usually get a night?

what is your normal at rest heart rate and what was it when you considered it high?

Gear WILL raise your resting heart rate as well as elevated pulse. Anavar will give you heavy chest when you breathe like an elephant is sitting on it at times.

What time of the day do you work out? Also do you consume a lot of caffeine or pre workout supplements? Are you taking any AI? You don't have to worry about it, although I'm sure your mind is just focused on your heart, you need to accept that this is how it's going to be while you're on and kind of deal with it. When you understand that this is what happens, it almost goes away because you're not focusing on it.

no pre work outs the odd one if i grab a sample from one of teh pro card(ers) at my gym , caffine is usually none or 1 espresso. just came off stane last week onto adex,

i work out in the morning lately and after the flu i will be going twice a day.

today is the rest day for me

as for high BP? well on any cycle i have done in the past ive never caught my bp high its always been good every reading.

I understand that its easy for us to over think things when on gear. but i rather look and record and learn what a new compound or other ones are doing in direct relation with my diet and lifestyle and listen to my body.

thank you for any and all feed back guys.

I didn't read any of the other posts here, but what I will say is this -

I used Anadrol once and it elevated my resting heart rate to very high levels. I think at one point my resting heart rate was in the 90s, and that's not good considering my resting heart rate while off it was in the mid to high 50s. Some AAS can and do impact your heart rate, its not just limited to blood pressure. When I stopped the Anadrol, my heart rate returned to normal. I believe oral AAS affect heart rate at far greater degrees than injectable ones.

I just went through this last week. I was in the gym and was getting light headed and dizzy during each set. Mind you I had not eaten well at all that day. I had not hardly eaten anything so I was deficiant as hell. Part way through I went in the bathroom and threw up the water I had been drinking. I pushed my way through the workout just trying to rest a little longer and gather my head between sets.

I went to do some light cardio and the treadmills were all full (fat women walking at a 2.2 lightning speed for hour and 40 min) so I jumped on the eliptical. I was not on there more than a few minutes and was not going very hard when I grabbed the HR moniter grips. I pegged em at a 180. I have only gotten near that high doing intense speed for longer periods of time. I then got off and rested a bit then got on one of the treadmills (she must have needed a snack). I ran a lap and tested again at 178. I walked a lap got it down to around 140 and then tried another lap. Again I spiked it at nearly 180.

This worried me so I went home ate a good meal including plenty of carbs. Made sure I had plenty of fluids and rested because I felt like sh*t. I text a Dr. friend of mine and explained it to her. During this time I was laying in bed and tested resting in the mid 80's. By the next day I was averaging mid 70's or so (which is kool with me).

The moral of this story is that she explained to me as stated above that the lack nutrition caused my body to stress and my BP to spike. She also explained that as long as it was a consistant beat and that it was only a spike and then settled back down vs. just staying high for no reason that I should not worry and that the heart can easily take 200 BPM for short periods of time. It took me a cpl days to feel normal again but it goes to show the affects of proper nutrition.

Hope this probably way of base and long winded explanation helps!
