Man I get heart palpitations bad when I go back on cycle! I had them so bad last year I had to wear a heart monitor 24/7 for 2 weeks and do stress tests. In the end my cardiologist asked me when’s the last time I donated. I do prescribe phlebotomy due to past hep c. I’m treated but can’t just donate at will.
I’m past due and it’s been since before last Halloween. Got to get back to my doctor and get the paperwork done along with labs . Guess I need to come off my light blast of
300 /deca
250 test c
50 primo e
a week so my test levels drop down .

This time I’m only 14.3 hemo
I have been in like 19 and 20 but try and keep low! Yeah I went to er a couple times last big cycle thinking I was having a heart attack! This time it’s just stress and I’m sure my gear use in the past has gave me a condition. But it didn’t start till I went back on cycle recently. And the stress of my injury and job just makes it worse I’m guessing.
I had to stop taking heavy pwo and use Walmart Abe’s which I like. Not to strong but just enough. Of course in the past I was doing ALOT!!! Of atoms and gear.
That’s why if I could and I will one day when I can afford it. Just sober and try hgh. And I want to get some test U for trt. I’ve read it’s a great option and less pinning. Once every 3 to 4 weeks

Did you happen to test your cortisol levels along with your most recent labs?
Sounds like they may have been elevated pre-cycle making it extremely difficult for your body to normalize.
I don't hear much with regards to Test-U but it's not very common in the US.
I'm curious how long it takes to dial in the protocol for optimal hormone levels.
ED pinning seems to be more and more common regardless of ester... but I don't find it necessary.

I’m not sure I’ll have a look at the cortisol see if it’s on the lab work. I haven’t found test on any source yet but international. There are two I need to check out but ones site is down or something. The other I’ll look at later. Just made an order so my funds are tight!

Keep an eye on your bp too. When my hematocrit goes up my bp dies too and that stresses your heart big time

Did I miss you talking about your lipids?
Also, what do you do for estrogen control? I haven't had the level of problems you have, granted, but I used to base how much AI to take on my BP, they were so related.
