Heart Palpitations & Steroids

[bruary17]

I've had heart palpitations since I was a kid, been to the cardiologist...ran through tests and was told they are nothing to worry about. I'll be running Test-E @ 300mg for my first cycle. Anyone know of any particular dangers I may run into?

I know that hardened heart ventricals MAY be a side effect, I assume it would mainly be attributed to long term and or heavy steroid use rather then just a 10 wk cycle of Test-E....especially at such a moderate dose.

However, I don't want to run into complications later down the road because of a steroid cycle I did to gain 12-15 pounds. I'm in this for health and longevity.

I don't think it's wise for anybody here to influence you to do or not do steroids if you have a concern for your heart, this is a discussion that should be had with a health care professional. Water retention is a side effect which could elevate bp so that may be one area of concern for you, if you have a good relationship with your doc maybe you could have a (hypothetical) conversation with him.

The possible bp issues isnt a concern of mine. I have had no limitations due to my palpitations in any sports or activitys. I will be totally honest with my cardiologist about me taking test. I'm also going to ask if there is any testing that can be done to identify possible ventricle hardening through out my cycle.
