I am currently 25 yrs old, 6'2'' 210lbs and recently had my bodyfat done by a trainer and it was 6. After 8 years of hard,, all natural training I think I am finally ready for the big jump. I've been reading the board for over a year and a half, but before I make any cycle decisions I just wanted to see if any of you guys had any thoughts on some health issues I've been experiencing. My blood pressure has been very low and I've noticed that it seems to clot vey slowly. I have felt really run down lately and during/after most workouts i tend to get headaches and sometimes feel on the verge of passing out. A few people have suggested that these problems may be due to a thinning of my blood due to my high aspirin intake...very big fan of ECA, but that doesnt seem to be a very thorough explaination. Anybody have any ideas on the causes or solutions...obviously I'd like to work this out before introducing any other stresses on my system. Thanks IP: Logged |

The ECA stack should raise your blood pressure causing the thermogenic effect... Not lower it. You should see a doc. When was the last time you had a physical and blood work done??? IP: Logged |

You seem very lean. I had the same problem when I was into running and had low BF%. My doctor told me to slow my activity and increase fat in my diet. The ECA will disguise your need for calories. IP: Logged |

The slow clotting time of your blood is due to the aspirin making your platelets slippery,and not being able stick togher when you have an intrinsic,or extrensic wound.when you have a vascular wound 1)vasospasm occurs 2)platelet plug forms 3)fibrinogen converts to fibrin 4)fibrous tissue begin to generate.You prob.have headaches due to the low amount/quality of hemoglobins carrying oxygen to your brain.just my opinion though!

Hey bro Tucker sounded about right. You may be a hemophilia- A hereditary blood disorder marked by greatly prolonged coagulation(clotting)time. There is no cure but a doctor can put you on clotting meds. Then you should be fine to train. Go see a MD before you start the sauce!! Low iron may also cause slow clotting!? IP: Logged |

One more thing a hemophilia should NOT take aspirin because it can further complicate the bleeding!!!! IP: Logged |
