    Ask DocM. He is a member on the board, and he should be able to answer your question.

    yeah ask the doc, steroids can enlarge your heart so that may be more of a problem for u

    Uhm, if im not mistaken. Its the left ventrical that is enlagred, oh well, not completely due steroiduse. Rather lifestyle of bodybuilding, lifting weights to the maximum. Since even "clean" bodybuilders get that enlargment to some point, which is not hazardous for your health. Some however get the greater version of it, which is VERY bad.

    But in your case whichever answer we give here, you must talk with your doctor about it, and just pray that he is open-minded. Because if he say's no, make sure he explains WHY. And then get back with us

    Good luck bro
