Heart/chest Problems and PCT Help

ad

Hopefully Someone more knowledgable can chime in and help me out. First I'll Start with cycle just so you know what compounds i was running.
(350mg Test E - 400mg Mast E) - Weekly - (30 mg Var) - Daily - Aromasin 12.5mg E3D
26 yr old, Healthy Lifestyle, no heart probs in fam.
3rd cycle
-2 1/2 weeks into cycle, Start feeling Heavy Chest Tightness and pressure. Take blood pressure and its fine (121/75).
- Couple days go by, Chest/Heart starts feeling worse, Getting a little scared but pop some Tylenol and tough it out.
- @3ish weeks in, Seriously worried about heart/chest, Having night sweats like i'm on DNP or something. Think Anxiety/stress making it worse. Insomnia is real. Can feel my heartbeat pounding through my chest. Feels like a band is wrapped around my chest so i decide to go to ER.
- Go to ER, EKG comes back fine, Blood work comes back fine, Chest X-ray comes back fine. Diagnosed with Costochondritis or inflammation of the chest Joints, wouldn't wish that feeling on my worst enemy.
At this point i thought it was the compounds making me feel this way so i immedialty stopped the cycle 3 1/2 weeks in.
My question is since i only ran compounds for about 4 weeks, Is PCT necessary? If so, do I follow the same protocols as a full length cycle?

Yes you will have to do a PCT. Nearly a month in will have you shut down. I would just do a normal PCT to be safe.
You weren't running a lot of Asin but no need to start it at beginning of cycle. That along with high mast and lower test could cause low estro issues.

Has the Mast your running crashed your estrogen levels and your getting anxiety attacks worrying about your heart. Low estrogen causes extreme anxiety in some, sounds like it could be with the way the checks are coming back fine. (I used to suffer from serious panic attacks from childhood trauma)

I think your Test is running lower then it should be for the amount of Mast. I could be wrong.

Could definitely be a possibility, was running 12.5 mg Aromasin e3d. I typically don't suffer from panic attacks or anxiety, but i felt like i was gonna die for more then a week so that didn't help. Strength was starting to come in w/ var and test, probably just pushed my body to hard and too fast. Went from benching very conservatively 12-15 reps to trying to max out 1-5 reps, maybe an ego-lift backfire, was also very excited and reps weren't clean ex. Bouncing 285-315 harshly off chest.

My bad, new to posting here. Just figured my problem was serious enough to warrant a question from more experienced people

Aromasin can floor you fast if you don't need as much as you think on top of the anti-estrogenic effects of Mast.

Learned that on my 1st cycle, was taking full tabs Eod, Skin was so dry, Joints were achy, but no panic, anxiety attacks.

Did you get your bloods checked? I would have personally.

Unfortunately not a full blood panel. Just had bloods tests that correlated with heart probs like lipids and heart enzymes. ER said they did a full blood panel but i never got results.
