AS and heart rate

[50Cent]

I just get so bored when I do it, I guess that's why. Plus, on the physical/appearance side, I don't really have any fat to lose so that also makes me less motivated to do it.

My theory on this is that it’s due to increased blood viscosity.

Most anabolics will cause an increase in Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, and red blood cell levels something similar to what happens with the condition polycythemia vera.

The increased volume and viscosity of the blood can cause increased blood pressure and heart rate. Anadrol and D-BOL are two drugs that are very potent at increasing blood volume and viscosity very rapidly. They are also known to cause the dreaded androgen headache, pounding heart, and shortness of breath.

If my theory is correct, then cardio would not be a good idea.

It is not at all abnormal with the use of androgens, but if you are concerned, you should see a doctor and get some blood tests done.

Even if you don’t want to see a doctor, you can still get blood tests done at a lab and read them yourself. Then if anything looks too out of the normal range (a simple web search can help you to determine what is normal) you should get to a doctor.

Now I know what's causin my headache, shortness of breathe, and the fast heart rate....its the dbol, not the deca.....I usually get a sharp headache at the very back of my head and upper neck area.....I think after this cycle, I'm done with Dbol for life.....

I paid attention to it last night, and I think it's more of stonger/louder beat than a faster one. It's pretty strange and bothers me, although a lot of that is just mental.
