Sorry if this is already a thread but the search button won't work for me. Everytime I get in the shower I get these insane headrushes and dizziness. Sometimes it persists for a few minutes. I've been checking my bp daily its been about 125 and the highest its been is about 143 one night so I don't feel like thats it. I thought I might be allergic to the filler in my proviron so I stopped taking it yesterday, so I am yet to see if that is it. What else do you guys think it could be if gear related at all?
 
yea it is brought on by the hot water I think. I haven't really noticed it any other time. Im just hoping it doesn't indicate cardiovascular problems
 
yea this has happened before aas, though not as prevelant. I took concerta and adderall in college and they seemed to make the dizziness come on aswell if they were even related. But now I'm wondering if it is an untreated sinus/ear infection
 
anyone have any ideas to put my mind at ease. Im kinda freakin out that it might be my heart, this is my first cycle btw of just test e
 
I've been reading about orthostatic hypo/hypertension brought on by the hot water and it sounds like my symptoms but I don't know.
 
from your one symptom, all that a differential diagnosis can muster up would be pretty useless unless we had more information.
But, you did some good homework and it sounds like you might have orthostatic intolerance. I don't know how well you're keeping yourself hydrated, but you might want to make sure you're drinking enough fluids (intermittently, NOT all at once) each day (around 2 Liters worth). A low effective circulating volume (accounting for lack of blood perfusion to the brain and resultant dizziness) might be the culprit here.
If that doesn't help you out, you might need to get a check up with a doctor to see if you can get a prescription for something stronger...but that means you should also tell them about your injectable steroid use.
 
oh definitely don't want to tell doc that also been lookin up side effects of xanax and it can cause it commonly. Ive never had a problem with it before, but if it doesn't stop I think ill discontinue test e

I was thinking it might be more due to hydration levels because you made an earlier post about experiencing similar symptoms with Adderall (which may dehydrate you, being that it's dextro-amphetamine).

Another thought is that maybe the Testosterone is causing increased metabolic demands. This in turn would eat up your glucose levels and leave you hypoglycemic and feeling dizzy (as well as fatigued and possibly other mental status changes). But it doesn't account for the hot water induction of dizziness.

Have you felt this dizziness with any other activities such as vigorous exercise (either heavy weight lifting or cardiovascular conditioning)?
 
no I've never experienced this during a workout it was almost like a tremor. And i was considering that it might be hypoglycemia but didn't understand to how the shower would affect that
