PVCs - Heart Palpitations? Equipoise

Ampedup

New member
Hey guys

On my first cycle. Doing:
200 mg of Equipoise E4D
200 mg of Test cypionate E4D
With a 2 week dbol kicker.

My starting weight was 169, I am now 184-185ish.

I'm exactly 3 weeks into my cycle. I noticed about 4 days ago I was having irregular heart beats (Based on my symptoms I believe they are pre-ventricular contractions). It kind of feels like my heart is pumping hard on one beat then normal for like 15. This is causing me to have a lot of anxiety...

I thought it might have been the dbol so I quit it a couple of days ago, but that was not the case. I think this problem may actually root from the equipoise.

Since I began my cycle I have put on roughly 15 pounds.

My blood pressure readings have been:
Pre cycle: 117/67
Week 1: 121/67
Week 2: 132/69
Week 2b: 142/69
Week 2c: 127/71
Week 3: 142/71

For the last 4 days I have been taking 12 fish oil a day, 2 baby aspirin, as much potassium as I could get and 6 g of garlic pills. Also upped water intake...

What can I do to stop the heart palpitations? Should I donate blood on my 3rd week of cycle to lower rbc count ? See a doctor and try and get beta blockers/anti anxieties/anti-hypertensives? Or am I just freaking out too much?

Edit: Also doubled my cardio this last week lol..

Sounds like paranoia because...

1. Takes EQ about 5-6 weeks to kick in, that cant be it.

2. Takes Cyp about 4-5 weeks to kick, that cant be it either.

So considering neither compound has even stabilized in your blood yet, then its something else.

Your doing such a low dose of both compounds that i doubt that the steroids are causing the sides.

Also, that is WAY to much fish oil...may as well just chugg some veggy oil eating that much fish oil.
 
Do you think i'm just getting anxious from being paranoid then or my body adjusting to higher blood pressure? I don't usually get heart palpitations lol..but I will admit I over react

maybe your right and it's all in my head...
 
The whole situation can be frightening; the needles, injections, chemicals...which is basis of anxiety in its own.

Just keep it cool, you'll be fine.

Id bump your test dose higher tho, your not gonna get the muscle building results your looking for with those low doses. Its also wise to run only one compound your first go around, but your already 3-4 weeks in, id juss follow thru.
 
Carbohydrates can cause palpitations as can steroids. I tried a cap of a "Tren" PH to test my reaction to that compund, and it gave me some big palpitations - real thumping mofo's. But lots of carbs can be very similar, where it feels like my heart is momentarily stalling and restarting. Do you think that it is something you are eating?
 
Honestly don't think the palpitations are because of what i'm eating. I think it's related to the gear. I'll probably make an appointment for my doctor this thursday or friday. Should I make mention the gear? Or just tell him i'm having anxiety?
 
also i'm not running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (I figure I could get away with it on my first cycle) --- maybe it's estrogen related?
 
Heart palpitations?

Rapid onset of weight can do that to the heart.

I had my heart beating much higher than average for the first 8 weeks, and at times what felt like heart palpitations. For those suggesting it can't happen in the first few weeks, yes it can.

I gained majority of my bodyweight on Test enan (alone) the first 4 weeks, only strength came later. First week alone gained 1/3 of the entire body weight gained on cycle, i put on 10lb, albeit likely water.

Get some bloods, get a 12 lead ekg. Could be pvc's, pac's, etc. Low potassium, caffeine, google the rest because I'm not going to list them all can cause them. Also they are harmless. Probably too much water weight and got your electrolytes out of whack.
 
Didn't get a blood test or ekg...heart palpitations are all gone now (for the most part), blood pressure is fine.

I'm currently taking 1mg lorazepam/clonazepam whenever my anxiety acts up.

Anxiety runs in my mom's side of the family, but I have never had any (until this steroid cycle lol)

So i'm blaming the PVCs on anxiety. (However i'm sure putting 20 lbs on, working out twice as hard and the 20 point increase in blood pressure also contributed to it!)

Thanks for all the concern and advice
 
well its good they are gone....most everyone experiences palpatations sometime in their life. You wouldnt be able to diagnose your heart rhythm without an ekg. If your palps dont cease at some point then I would go to the doc asap. Palps are not dangerous but they could lead a doc to an underlying issue. I have a buddy that had palps for 3 days and went to the doc....they did a ct scan and found out he had an enlarged aorta...just be cautious bro
