Urgent help! Overall body swelling - edema

[oliverduke]

Can anyone help out?

550mg test 100mg anavar

I had my e2 checked second week into cycle and it was middle range, but i started getting very bloated and watery so I upped it from 12.5mg aromasin ed to 25mg ed.

My experiences so far include the follow

-bloated ankles/legs
-water bloated face/abbs
- slightly puffy nips + lump (i had before i started trt but it went on trt and seems to have come back)
- only sleeping 6 hours but don't feel tired (usually drained on less than 8)
- no sex drive at all
- quite hot sleeping at night
- normal bowel movements
- normal maybe slightly more obsessive personality
- no real determination in gym/general life

it all sounds to me like high estro? but I'm taking quite a lot of aromasin?

getting another blood test at end of week but not sure what to do till then, try the higher dose aromasin or ?

Kidney failure? Heart attack?

I sent you a PM.

Your aromasin is fake or your anavar is dbol. I would bet anything that your var is dbol or dbol mixed with var. There is no way that that smallish dose of test could be causing this much trouble even if you're estradiol is not controlled. Find out what that var is. I think you are just being paranoid. You will not have a heart attack or kidney failure anytime soon. Whatever mega sent you a pm about follow it and make sure you are ok because health is your first priority in this game.

I wouldnt do anything till you got that blood work back. The above guys mentioned some possibilities that make sense.

 

[oliverduke]

He asked if it leaves imprint in leg, yes it does and stays for a while.
Iv dropped the anavar trying not to panic... What else should I do?

 

[Megatron28]

Drink a lot of water. Rest.

Make sure you are well hydrated. That is crucial man.
If you start cramping badly along with the water retention you may need to go to a Dr if it doesnt subside. Im not joking or being over dramatic, could indicate a kidney issue.
See what your blood work says and if anything needs adjusting. Did I mention to stay well hydrated?

Yeah I forgot to say that. Some guys get the symptoms of edema and think that limiting water intake will help the bloating but it can cause greater problems. Keep that sodium low too op. I am sure that your bloods will have your e2 sky high, and then you will need to find out the root cause. If your asin is no good and you got dbol instead of var then your e2 levels got hit hard to say the least.

 

[tury694]

OP, your are on trt correct? If so I would drop to the trt dosage until all of this bullshit is sorted out.

 

[oliverduke]

Thanks guys.

Im going to drop the var, lower T dose, use new pharma Aromasin that arrived today, and get estrogen re tested friday.

When i moved from gels to injections on TRT i also got this effect for a week or so but it passed and wasnt as bad as this.

Im drinking plenty of water, urine is clear.

Is there anything else ? how long should i give it before i go docs?

Test can cause bloat for anyone, but some are more sensitive than others. Is there any way that you can get tested sooner than Friday? It would be good to know how high e2 is at this point since now is when you are feeling the worst. Don't go back to your doctor until you have started back on your trt regimen for a few weeks, unless of course you have a medical emergency. Do you have any BP readings?

Ill try but its unlikely as being in the UK i need to use a finger prick test that gets sent off privately without docs knowing... I can go to london so they can do it quicker but ill have to phone tomorrow to get the forms emailed to me to take...

just done blood pressure, 140/70

 

[tury694]

That bp reading is high but not too bad. Just keep monitoring it and get the tests done fast even if it is more inconvenient. Good luck bud.

Thanks ill take all the neccesary steps and report back, im going to get an early night and get to bed...

Im guessing you agree its estrogen related? no need to panic about other things?

 

[tury694]

Most likely is estrogen related if you do not feel well make sure to get to the hospital and get those bloods fast.

 

[Megatron28]

I agree. Cut out all the crap and get TRT sorted out. Next time you start a blast, so it the right way. One piece at a time. You got ahead of yourself. Now you have so much going on that you don't know what is causing the issues. Fake Var? Fake Aromasin? Too much Test? Who knows what else. These are powerful drugs that you are taking? Show them the proper respect and they will treat you well.

Thanks and agreed. Slept well and woke up feeling better (hard wood) and less ankle swelling but still some in the face.
Will see how it improves once test is reducing and th var/dBol is leaving my system.
Will be doing bloods tomorrow so should have results Saturday-monday

 

[oliverduke]

Back in work and the ankle swelling has come back...

Don't panic and start overdoing the AI. AI's prevent future estrogen from being created via the aromatization process . It does nothing to reduce the estrogen that is already floating around in your body. Don't start popping AI pills like they are candy. You have to give it time to work.

Sounds like keeping your legs elevated may have been helping. One sign of when the edema is getting bad is that it will even just hurt to walk 3 blocks. You calves will start cramping up. Hopefully you aren't at that point yet.

Bar the swelling I feel fine.

On the way to get liver, kidney, estrogen and thyroid checked.

If you saw my email I asked would the aromisin I took this morning make a low blood result today, yet the symptoms could remain? Or will the symptoms go in line with estrogen? As in if estro comes back low, and I'm still a bit puffy should I discount it or it could be delayed?
