Started TRT - Anxiety / Fast Breathing After Injections

[reddevilg]

I just started TRT and have had a couple of T cyp injections (following a protocol of 50 mg Subq injections twice a week) and noticed anxiety like fast and short breathing almost immediately after the injections which lasted a day or so. Could anyone please let me know if that's normal? Is that anything to do with my low SHBG (of 12.8 nmol/L)?

I don't believe that it can be related to SHBG, it has to be either psychological or a rare reaction to the carrier oil or preservatives.

I agree with mprtz.

It seems to be an allergic reaction to the oil / preservatives, because I got a red itch on the injection site which went away after a day. Any solution to this?

Calamine lotion or an anti-itch cream applied to the site? Benadryl? Try a different brand of Test Cyp? Give it time and it me go away on its own? Rotate more sites?

Thanks - different brand isn't an option for me as there is only one available here..will try other things you suggested...FWIW - haven't noticed any side effects from the injection today

Probably a combination of psychological reaction and maybe injection practices. Sounds like you'll be ok going forward.

^^^ I agree

its likely because its new to you and your body. after a couple months you should not notice it. sometimes i feel a little off for a day after the shot, no biggie. the body is smarter than you think. millions of cells communicating without the need of our direct brain attention.
i remember first few times i pinned i almost passed out, then afterwards i thought to o much and felt anxiety.. it should go away over time : )
