getting off cycle after three weeks

ad

Hi fellas need some advice.
ive only been on test E now for three weeks and I think I may have to go off of it. 1st inj was Apr 7 doing 500mg /week. This is my 4th test only cycle. No sides ever before. But now Im experiencing fluctuating blood pressure thats got me up all night and worried all the time. So Im not feelin it ya know? I did some reading here on high blood pressure and seen a few other guys with same issue that also had to cut it short. I dont have easy access to blood testing so Im only guessing at whats going on. I had assumed initially when it started happening(the chest thumping/high pulse rate) that my test levels had peaked with the aas + my bodies natural test, but it keeps coming and going. I have adex and clomid, nolva. I read here that also the high blood pressure could be related to high estrogen levels. So again, having never had sides before, I experimented with a half tab of adex every second day and the blood pressure seemed to smooth out. I then quit the adex after six days and for several days felt pretty good, but now seems the high blood pressure has returned. So - back on the adex to see if it sorts out the blood pressure again. I guess the big question is- do I continue the cycle with the half tabs of adex? Or do I quit the cycle? And since Im really only three weeks in at this point, how do I come off of it? Do the clomid/nolva post cycle blend? Or just quit as its only been three weeks? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Donating blood is a excellent way to get your bp down. Also Hawthorn berry will help with bp.

Get blood test immediately for your estro levels. If taking the adex fixed the problem then why stop taking the adex? If your estrogen is high then that's most likely the culprit. If you have a cool doctor then stay on and go see him.

Start PCT w/ clomid and nolva 2 weeks after last injection. Get bloods done/see a doctor about the high blood pressure. If you level out and bloods/doctor says you're ok and you decide to cycle again, take some hawthorn berry for 2 weeks before jumping on again and continue to take it.

Stats
Age: 37
Height: 6'
Weight: 180
BF: ? Not much

Are these stats correct? on 4th cycle and 6' 180lbs.

What dosages were you on from previous cycles? Have you ever had to take an AI? It is possible you had underdosed/bunk gear on previous cycles.
Do you have any other sides of high E2? Libido feels good? Feeling a little weird emotionally?

If that adex was working for you, you should not have stopped it. When dosage is stopped it can cause E2 to rebound. Even if you stop the Test right now and have high E2 you still would need the adex to knock the e2 down. Now without bloods you will be flying blind.

no no other high estro sides. Ive never had any sides on prior cycles so I dont know what im looking at. Libido is excellent, seem to be having hot flashes a little. Which also leads me to believe my hormones are off.emotionally I think im decent exept when I start to experience this heart pounding then I go in the toilet. Im going to stay on the adex now, i will decide in the next day or two If I continue with the cycle or not. Likely not. Im going to go see the doc. Hes gonna be pissed at me. Ive only ever done test E or Sust. Always with a 20lb gain at 12 weeks. Never sides before this cycle- same gear.

Sounds like a good plan. The safest bet by far is to get bloods from the doc.

good choice. Sounds like you've had enough previous experience to know how your body handles AAS. This sounds to me like it's something else, hopefully nothing serious, but need to come off everything so you can get your health evaluated.

i was having the same issue with my chest thumping and feeling like my heart was pounding hard/ fast pulse. The only thing that stopped it for me was getting on blood pressure meds just while running my cycle. It fixed the issue and allowed me to stay on.

Sounds like you need to see a Dr and figure out what is going on. When it comes to your heart you do not want to take any chances. I would come off cycle like you said. PCT with clomid and nolva and get yourself checked out. You should not be using AAS if you are having health issues.

you should not be coming off you adex throughout the entire time you are pinning, take it every other day or every 3 days to keep the estrogen down until you start your pct.

Edit: I'd just stay on cycle and see if you estro levels even out.

A/I is different for everyone. There are people who don't even touch them at all on cycle and are fine, then there are people who have to take them from Day 1. The OP should know how his body reacts by now to know whether or not an AI is needed. Clearly there is more problems here then just estro. Poor advice to stay on cycle. -1

oops I should also mention I had my blood pressure checked and it averaged at 120/75 which is virtually perfect, however it always seems to be at night when the funny heart feelings arise and keep me up. The feeling comes and goes.
