    im having chest pain on ephedrine, help

    Hi, I just started cutting and am taking ec stack (bronkaid).i checked my blood pressure today (im 18 yrs old) and its 127/65. I dont know if im imagining the chest pain and shortness of breath. I took 12.5, 25, and 12.5mg bronkaid today on my fourth day.

    I know low potassium can cause this and I only get 2000mg potassium a day. I didn't have these symptoms on low dosage, I want to increase potassium but idk what to eat, my carbs are already too high on my cut, I was actually contemplating cut to out my 2 bananas a day.

    What do I do?

    If you are cutting are you on cycle cutting? What else are you taking? What makes you think it is the stack?

    Stop taking it immediately, go to the doctor and have a chest x-ray and an EKG. Mention nothing about ephedrine. There is a chance that it is completely benign and has nothing to do with your heart, but you're better off being safe rather than sorry and having it examined. Also, your BP is fine, but that does not mean there isn't something else going on. Before you freak out, I'll tell you a story about myself. Once upon a time I had chest pain that was localized around my heart... Obviously I was very concerned so I went to the ER. Everything checked out fine and I'm still alive, but once again, you're better off being safe rather than sorry. To reiterate the most important part... Stop taking the ephedrine for the time being.

    This is with high probability the cause of his chest pain. If you dont mention it to doc the only thing that will accomplish is a prolonged fishing expedition as he tries to figure out what is causing it.

    Just stop taking it and see if the issue resolves. If you dont want to stop then reduce the dosage.
