Hey guys, I'm 29 and been on gear since I was about 23 on and off. I got into powerlifting last year and did a few cycles leading into the meet. I ran 500 mg test email and 375 of eq per week for first cycle 15 weeks. Took some GNRH and tomax and some time off. Then leading into the meet I did 500 mg test e a week, 300 of tren week, and 50 dbol a day 3 weeks out from the meet. I used to drink and do social party drugs bit gave that all up leading into the meet. After the meet, I stayed on 250 mg of test till a month ago. Had a bad break up, and then I got an inner ear infection and was getting dizzy spells and almost fainting for what I felt was no reason. My doc wanted me to stop taking test cold turkey, which I feel was a BAD idea after being on a maintenence dosage for 7 months. My blood came back pretty good. I had an echocardiagram and my left ventricle was enlarged a bit but doc said nothing to worry about.
The beginning of this week after taking off 2 from lifting cause I was having anxiety and pannic attacks from business and new found singleness. I went to lift, did a few sets of bench, had a weird heart palpitation and felt faint/ had a weird taste in my mouth and decided to take the rest of this week off. Kinda trying to figure out what to do here. I had a halter monitor on for 9 hours and had a 2 second sinus arrest, which I read is common in young athletes also. He's out of town and I'm in limbo right now wondering what to do. My test levels were only 584 on cycle so I don't feel like that would hurt my heart but I'm not a doctor.
PS I've been doing manual labor for 14 years and lifted pretty hard for a while so I think my heart should be pretty sound. Maybe this is all new found anxiety.
Thanks in advance.
