I am having a problem while on cycle that I have not noticed in those prior to this one:

Last night I felt the need to go to the Emergency Room due to tachycardia. My heartbeat was being maintained at 100+ bpm, as low as 85 and spiking at 120 in different points of the evening. This was at rest while watching television and persisted over a 2-hour span.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was bombarded with questions, along with the obvious inquiry to my AAS usage, to which I replied in the negative. After a blood pressure test and an EKG, both were found to be normal and "anxiety/panic attack" was deemed to be the cause of the issue.

Day 2 of this hasn't made me feel any better, though I am certainly nowhere near 120 again.


My question to the members (and please, only reply if you've experienced these symptoms or have sound, medical advice to give from past experience or a degree in medicine) is:

Can the hormonal imbalance caused by AAS usage be the root cause of these panic attacks? I have no other stressors in my life, at least none to be serious enough for me to panic as I've never done in my life prior to last night.

My current cycle has me on Deca Durabolin at 400mg/week and Masteron at 400mg/week.

Please advise.
