Tamoxifen and the risk of stroke

**pidol** · 01-05-2009, 10:56 AM

Hello,

I am about to start a clomid and nolvadex pct week 1 and 2 100mg clomid and 40 mg nolvadex, week 3 and 4 50mg clomid and 20mg nolvadex. The problem is that i recently found out that i have very high levels of cholesterol. 275 to be exact and bad cholesterol around 190. I read that tamoxifen increases the risk of strokes. What should I do? Should I use a clomid only PCT which is the usual day 1-300mg, day 2-11 -100mg, day 12-21 50mg? Hope I can get some advise.Tnx

Tamoxifen increase clothing not atherom build up in arteries! How old are you?

Your good cholesterol is 85mg/dl? So your risk ratio is 3.47!!! This is good! Are your values from time before cycle? Or on cycle? Do you hold diet? How is your BP? How is your pelets count? To many thinks to consider.. its not allways simple as apple pie...

You shouldnt cycle with this lipid profile at all. Worst side effect of AAS is effect on lipids.

Use cod liver oil and oatmeal, daily. That will drop your LDL levels and increase your HDL. Also Cardio EVERY DAY.

Thanks guys. My other concern is my doc doesnt want me to take any meds because my creatinine levels is 114. this is baseline levels, I am going to get my blood check again on Monday which is 21 days after my last injection, I should have started pct after 14 days. I think the reason for this is that I ate a pound of steak before fasting the night before the bloodwork and did not know that affects the levels.
