[shaz29]

hi guys, i started aas for the firsttime last summer... was probably 4 weeks into cycle of dbol, nile sus and deca.. and i suddenly developed a pain in my chest.. was kinda sharp, rushed to ER, they did the usual, xrays, bloods, ECG.. they said heart is fine, anyway this pain continued to worsen, since lasy august i must hav been to ER 20 times, each time they have told me heart is fine, eve saw a cardiologist recently and had an echocardiogram done and also had treadmill test, both fine.. anyway even after all this i still cant get it out of my head that its not my heart, slightest pain and i worry that im goin to have a heart attack, have been off sock from work since august, wot you guys think?.. am i worryin for no reason? anyway is it true that if it was pain from the heart then it wouldnt have lasted this long? i have recently gone back to the gym again and am deciding to simple testoviron only cycle but so scared that i might damage my heart!!

Steroids can affect the heart. no doubt, listen to your body is the best advice i can tell you man..

thanks for the that... but all docs have told me that my heart is fine and kept tellin me that its costochondritis.. and recently the cardiologist told me that its intercostal neauralgia..... i think its muskoskeletal pain but its been going on for months and for some reason i keep thinkin its the heart even tho 20+ plus docs have said its not... why can't i believe them? this is affecting me in a big way!

Can you explain to me what they told you about costochondritis and intercostal neauralgia?

they pressed on my ribs and breastbone and that caused pain so they said that its costochondritis (inflammation of rib cartilage) and was give anti inflammatory drugs for it which didnt really make much difference.. and just recently in jan when i saw the heart specialist he said that my symptoms are that of intercostal neuralgia, which is nerve pain in the ribs

i dont think its steroid use that caused it, i just made the whole thing worse by thinking that steroids caused it, its more mental than physical, its caused me alot of anxiety, i was just hoping that some one who know about the heart etc might be able to help me with this and try assuring me that the pain is not from my heart... i mean 20+ plus docs cant be wrong can they?? or can they?

Have you thought about the possiblility of chronic panic attacks... Can at times mimic a heart attack.

i have been takin beta blockers for anxiety/panic attacks .. i just have this fear in me that i'm goin to have a heart attack... weird?

Just a suggestion......can it possibly be heart burn?
That can be a bitch to deal with and in some cases emulates a heart attack or pain. For me juices give me the worse heart burns, had to stop drinking them.
