I have been on androgel for approx 6 wks. It has been a very good experience so far. but in the last few days I have had an elevated heart rate. about 85 bts per min resting. My normal resting rate is around 60. I am 44 yrs old. I went to see a cardiologist when I started to feel my heart beating irregular. He did an ekg and it was normal. as was my bp 120/77. I have had several stress tests in the past several yrs due to a strong family history. All have been normal. The dr went over my meds that I now take lexapro for anxiety and toperlol for heart rate and bp. When he saw that I was on androgel he immediately went off on the do you really know what you are taking? You are taking roids just like mlb players and bodybuilders. I told him that I had educated myself and I did indeed know what I was taking probably more than he knows. any how does anyone heard of an elevated hrt rate due to androgel? I am on one tube a day. thx alot
