ok guys, I'm on my 5th day of my first cycle.

I'm getting pretty hot, and my ears are BURNING UP! it's becoming quite annoying. also, I've been sneezing a bunch.

I've heard of test flu, but I'm not sure if that's what I have, or if I'm really sick.
 
what exactly are you taking... you can't just ask if it's sides or all in your head without telling us exactly what's you're taking
 
sorry, 500mg test E/wk

getting real bad now, I FEEL fine, but my head is very hot! I'm debating whether or not to go to a doctor

take your blood pressure.
 
Or you could go to any pharmacy and pick up a bp monitor yourself. Also, just as long as you don't have a fever, you'll be fine.

ok cool, I've been doing some research on here, and using the search. it sounds like test flu, and I'm at the right point if I was going to have it (maybe a little early)

I'll check my temperature tonight, if it's high, I'll get a BP monitor and make sure that's ok. thanks
 
A fever could indicate that you are suffering the so-called "test flu". It is a symptom. As long as it eventually subsides there is nothing to worry about.
 
You do that. Also, if you are sick, take a couple days off from the gym, take some anti-biotics if you have any and make sure to get plenty of rest.
 
Normal reaction in my opinion. I also get got, and red ! Night time is when I feel it most, however this is only in the begining of my cycle. I also sometime get cold chills as well.

Not necessarily true.High blood pressure can lead to a host of problems.

yeah, i get a little test flu about 2 days in. then i think im sick, then it goes away hahaha. pretty much standard procedure ahaha
 
UPDATE -

about 2 hours after I posted I felt fine!! my ears are still a little warm, but I feel much better, I'm about to go eat now. I think it's just test flu, I wasnt sure since this is my first cycle
 
You should go see a doc and get some prescription meds for it. That's what I did and my bp is back to normal even on cycles.

Depending on how bad, a aromatase inhibitor will help, maybe also take a look at your diet.

Yes, this would be the appropriate first action to take. Getting on medication should be the last option you choose.
