Gear and PVC's?

**Camaroguru** · 08-28-2013, 06:57 PM

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about gear and pvc's? premature ventricular contractions...many people have it but I have never found any threads about it. Still contemplating my first cycle as I read and learn but if you guys say no way, that would end that.

Are you saying you are on gear and now are having pvc's or that you have pvc's and want to know if you should start taking gear?

I have pvc's now but want to try my first cycle.

I assume your under the care of a cardiologist. What is your diagnosis? On any meds? Depending on the cause, the number of pvc's per minute, are they perfusing or not and are they together in runs or not.
If your doctor has not given you any physical limitations I doubt gear would have any effect on your heart. This is my personal opinions based on 23 years of medical experience. I'm not a doctor and I'm sure you know who you need to discuss this with...your cardiologist. Don't freelance.

Yeah, don't do it.

Man I think it is good you came and asked. In this case we see that there usually is not STUPID Q's. Some may sound really asinine but, so...if it is an important decision regarding health issues Thank G you asked.

You need to get with an MD and they should know your records and exactly what your proposal is. Have him/her explain it all and then research more yourself. ...crazy mike

Great above. For my 2 cents, I have mild pvc and mild tachycardia. I don't have any physical limitations, and I don't have any problem on gear. Neither condition is serious enough to warrant seeing a cardiologist regularly in my case. My pcp handles it, although I did see a cardiologist when 1st diagnosed. That's my own story. You need to get your own by finding out how serious yours is. This is a situation where you'll have to make an informed decision on your own and assess the risk vs. reward IMO. Just ask if you have to change your behavior due to this. Is ultra high intensity training ok? In my case, since I had historically been a gym rat until I let myself go, my doc ordered me to get back to the bb lifestyle. He didn't tell me to go on gear obviously but I did my homework and made my decision.

Addendum:
A little less than a year after getting back on the gym and correcting what hadbeen a horrible 'diet', I do not have tachycardia anymore. My resting hr is around 75 and going down still. I am on my 2nd cycle of this year. Again, that's me. Human bodies are extremely complex. My situation may only have only one thing in common with yours - that I had/have pvc. I don't feel the jumping I used to feel in my chest so maybe that's managed or not an issue anymore as well. I doubt if gear had anything to do with it. Diet and exercise did it. I take 50mg propranolol daily, too. That helps a lot. When I miss a dose, I can feel the difference.

Ty for the replies folks. I have done the Holter monitor, treadmill stress tests etc, no medication needed and no further care needed. Cardiologist basically said it's very common and gave me no limitations. Of course he doesn't know I'm contemplating the bike. And I have contemplated asking him about it but don't want it on my record or anything like that so not sure how to approach this one.
