Night sweats and HGH
Hey guys so I have recently just started getting into a growth cycle that I plan on running for an extend period of time. I have only ever ran growth on two other occasions both both in larger quantites and during contest prep. I studied and asked advice of a few members on here before I started and felt pretty confident in the source I chose to purchase from and all in all I am very pleased so far. I’m about to start week 8 at 2.5 iu daily and I’m starting to get some results as far as body comp is concerned also sleep is much better. So my question I have is about the last week or so I’ve started to experience some night sweats. Not to the level of entire body, sheets and clothing being soaked but mainly my pillow rest of body dry. I sleep in cool environment etc and haven’t changed my anabolic intake at all from my normal 400 mg test c and 300 mg npp weekly routine that I’ve been on for a while. I have a dr appointment end of oct for blood work etc. it’s earliest I could get in to see my normal physician as he is on vacation. So I’m asking is night sweats during hgh usage normal? Or is it something more concerning. Thanks ahead of time for any advice I appreciate it.

Night sweats are not a very common side effect with HGH.
That's something you see sometimes with anabolics like TREN
and NPP, just to name a few.
Achilles412Thanks the night sweats I think we’re due to consuming carbs closer to injection time at night. Cut out carbs and haven’t had issue
Are you below 15% BF?
Achilles412I am actually right at extacly 15% as of a few weeks ago done by hydrostatic weighing
Okay that's good...
Any abnormal headaches?
Achilles412No abnormal headaches but if I sleep awkwardly I’ll get one that starts at base of head but that’s been the norm for me for years.
You haven't been on your AAS combo for over 2 years, right?
I wouldn't be too sure the headache is from sleeping awkardly... what makes it go away, how quickly?
You using any hCG?
Achilles412Oh the headaches go away mostly after I shower n start moving around for the day but there are times I have to take two Advil but the headaches aren’t a daily occurrence
When was your last blood donation?
Any recent BP values?
Achilles412Blood donation has been quiet a while not going to lie. Probably year and half. I take my blood pressure daily it usually sits around 130-135/80-85
Is BP controlled with med? You may be running rich...meaning blood thicker than normal...platelets could be slightly high, H&H out of whack, RDW up...get bloods so you have a baseline... then after bloods, plan to drop a unit...as soon as possible.
Achilles412No no meds and yes I’m going to get extensive blood testing done Friday and then donate. Positive thing I listened to Makwa advice about carbs cut them from my last meal ( I inject hgh bedtime about 3 hours later) and two nights w no sweats.
Great...be safe
Achilles412I have been on AAS for about 8 years on and off this current combo has been a little under a year but as I said below I cycle the NPP off 6 weeks every 12 weeks but I do run my test c year around. Drop dosage while I cut my NPP No hcg but last summer I was on a high dosage of hcg while doing fertility treatments to have my second child. During that I was not on any AAS for a year. Started this current combo once wife became pregnant.
I agree with Dacky. I'd get BW. Lipid profile, Thyroid Panel w/free T3/T4, CBC w/diff, CMP, an ultra sensitive E2, F & T Test.
Achilles412Will do. Thank you very much for your help n input.
De nada, hermano
Check thyroid function and Hba1c as well as the normal blood panels - GH has been know to impact thyroid function which could cause this as well as induce insulin resistance which could also explain the night sweats. Best to make sure there’s nothing funky going on there.
Yes, definitely
Achilles412Thyroid function was my concern and kind of reason I was looking for a little advice I don’t think it is insulin issue as I’m not exhibiting any of the signs for that, however I do understand blood test is best test to determine that. Do you suggest stopping usage until I’m able fo see doctor? I feel great besides the mild night sweats so I’m really hoping not to.
Just do your own lab work mate. Should be able to get results pretty quickly and then make a decision.
Achilles412True. Will do. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it.
I wouldn't expect night sweats from GH. More likely the cycle you are running and or diet.
Achilles412As I said below this is pretty Common for me as far as cycle and never had this problem my diet is clean a little higher in carbs then I would like but still clean. Could you please elaborate more on what you mean by diet? Is possible the carb intake could play a role? Thanks
Could be timing of the carbs in the evening and/or type of carbs (low vs high GI). Climbing estro could also be causing hot flashes.
Agreed
Achilles412Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated.
I get nighsweats from npp. How long have you been on the 400mg test and 300 npp?
Achilles412I’ve been on NPP of n on for almost a year usually stop usage after 12 weeks for 6-8 then back on for 12 during that off time I drop my test c to 200 mg a week. Never had issues from the npp previously.
