Hey bros..it is eastarr69 signing on from home..still cant get this thing to work right from home...
...anyhow...here is how it went...
weas training with my bro taboo74 wednesday night...we were doing bi's...
heavy db curls..(to us) sets with 70's...anyhow, at the end of my last set, i was really winded, had a severe headache instantly, and shortness of breath, and burping some bile from the old tummy...
anyhow, i have been using eph hcl tabs for years, and also speed stacks for the same amount..generally my pre workout stack is 1 tab 15 minutes prior to trainig, aspirin, and drink a speed stack during the workout...well, i did not use the aspirin this time...
as the story goes, my head was pounding all night...i shoveled in 7 aspirin begfor i fell asleep...i awke with a shortness of breath at abot 0230...come to find some blood on my pillow, and my nose clogged with blood....
went and showered, as i stood up, an immediate headace...so, i showered, head hurt so bad i was throwing up...did not have a lot to eat, so i started hacking bile..and that is some nasty burning smelly ugly yellow shit....
so, i took 7 more aspirin, and my head felt good enough to get some more rest, got 2 hours slep, got up for work with a heradache, took no aspirin, went to the job..got out of car...was dizzy, head started to hurt badly...
so, i was off to the emergency room....
clued the doc in to the above...first thing he did was send me off for a cat scan on my head...why i asked, he said mostly due to the headache, and something else i never heard of....
he told me that to much ephedrine can make tyhe brain bleed...i freaked out..especially since i have been running this stack for 2 years now....
got the scan, found out that there was a minimal amount of blood on my left frontal load like above the eye...but next to the brain and the skull, he tolsd me normally the brain absorbs it, etc...i guess like a sponge, he also claimed to much caffine can do the same thing...
anyhow, they hooked me up to an iv of some kind of stuff that made the headache go away...kept me under watch for 4 more hours, then sent me on my way with discharge papers stateing, that i am to take no more ephedrine period....especially due to the headaches...
well, now my motivation is going to be my pre workout stack...
this made me drop the ephedrine cold turkey...but, he did mention i could get headaches from not taking it due to the withdrawl effect, sort of the way some get headaches from not getting their morning coffee....
he also reminde me that when you start to see those white colors in youe eyes and dizziness when training heavy, that is more then likely your bp through the roof...
so, with the history of strokes, bypasses, high choloesterol and bp on my moms side , including herself...i am going to be a bit more cautios while on and traing like a mad man...
this will not hinder the training or my gear usage, but it will change the way i think of doing my pre work out energy boost...
he told me how close i could have been to doing some real damage...made me think a bit...
we all want to be huge monsters, but to what extent..not to ruin our health...
but, you bros will be glad to know that my blood counts and liver was fine and i am on...i had to tell him, and my doc came up and he knows...so he ran the checks for me since they had like a gallon of my soul in little tubes..lol...
sorry for the ramble, but i figured i woiuld share my experience witrh you bros, and also to reflect...
like i said, i am not going to quit the gear, nor the training...just rtethink my approach..i am by no means a novice to this, but it goes to show that some times we feel we either know it all or are invincible...
food for thought for all us vets...and for the newbies, make sure you go into every decision with your head on straight and withj good preperation, and by all means, feel free to talk to your doctor..he may frown on what you do, but he obligated by oath to listen and to recommend...and help...
just my ramblings and my .02...
thanks for the space to write bros...
