I visited my doctor last night because after my 3rd shot I have been getting symptoms of the beginnings of gyno.. my left nip is acheing and itchy sometimes, no hard tissue underneith. Anyway, while I was in the doc's waiting room I got VERY nervous (as you do) as I was going to break the news to him that I'm on the gear. My heart rate went absolutely nuts and my face red. I went in and told him the news and he insisted on taking my blood pressure. He got very concerned after taking it and said I was at stroke levels (I have a history of white collar hypertension, which means when i'm nervous or stressed about something my BP rises.) and prescribed me some pills called Atenolol. I took a pill last night and one this morning and this afternoon I went and got my blood pressure checked at a Chemist. It read 140/90 which is fairly normal I believe. Whether or not this is from the pills I took I do not know.
From reading previous posts about high blood pressure I believe that an elevated pressure usually occurs when juicing. But my main concern is the Gyno. The doc didnt say much on the gyno and I asked him about anti-estrogens and he's told me that basically he knows shit about bodybuilding and what guys do about lowering the estrogen levels and said I shouldnt be putting anything else in my body to mess up my hormonal levels (well stuff you doc I dont want bitch tits). And of course he advised against the roids. So my question to you guys is what should I do? Should I continue the course or stop right now? Should I alter my dosages? What would be causing the gyno, the test or deca? I'm in Australia and I'm not sure what kind of anti-estrogens are on the market or whether I can buy them off the shelf... any aussies out there that can help me out on this one? I would really like to finish what ive started (not if it means growing breasts).. and right now I am starting to notice nice strength increases. Thanks in advance! sorry this was so long but i'm a little freaked out about this.
