Guys this just started happening today.....out of the blue my chest started hurting, on the opposite side from where my heart is. I thought i might just be hungry again, but after i ate, it was still there. Then as the day went on, the pain shot down my arms like it was going down my bicep and would end up on the opposite side of my elbow and into my forearm. The right arm is hurting more than the left......the same side where my chest hurts. Is this from taking juice guys? Im only in my 3rd week of Aratest, EQ, & Dbol. What do you all think could be causing this? ------------------     | ||

Your scaring me bro. I was always under the impression that heart attacks gives pain down your left arm but after taking a first aid and cpr class, it seems that during a heart attack, symptoms include pain down your right arm as well . Also chest pains are not a good sign but when was on d-bol i always had gas problems wich include some chest pain. However i'm not a doc so if it does get worse seek professional help.

See Twisted, i have had some serious gas today.....just since the pain has been here. Maybe that is the cause of it. God i hope so. I dont want to have a heart attack! Im paranoid as hell right now........but this has been hurting for the past 10 hours. Heart attack symptoms dont last that long do they? Pray for me guys. ------------------ | ||

I dont know much about heart attacks......i dont know much about anything at all about chest pain, arm pain, heart attacks. Hell, im only 21! I just checked my heart rate: 77 beats per minute. That is pretty normal right? Also, for some reason, its been hard to eat today. Like, im so hungry, but then when i eat, after 5 bites im getting full. I shovel it in still, but that is weird isnt it? I think im going insane now. :) ------------------ | ||

Not sweating at all, and i am breathing fine, Huck. I just hope its nothing harmful, and just a pain that will go away when i wake up. Maybe i have strained something.......but it doesnt feel like a strain at all. Damnit, i have been extremely tired today too. But that may be from the sinus problems, and sore throat i have too. This pain has nothing to do with that, i know. It cant. Shit........ :( ------------------ | ||

No, I havent checked my blood pressure yet huck. I will go to the drug store tomorrow morning and try to fit my arm in that meter they have, but i dont think its gonna fit. Hey Twisted, so Dbol will make you do that? I will get so full after a few bites of my food during every meal. That is the dbol talking eh? I thought that it was supposed to make you hungry as hell. But im only in my beginning of 3rd week on my cycle. Maybe it takes a little while for the "hungry" phase to kick in. Im trying to Relax! I promise! :) ------------------ | ||

Damn if it was me I'd get to the emergency room and have them check out my heart. You don't want to take chances. Mild heart attacks don't always cause a lot of pain. Some people have had them without even knowing. If it was something to do with gas or reflux I wouldn't expect it to spread into your arms?? Anyway I hope your okay and please let us know.

Just thought of one more thing. They say if you do suspect a heart attack to pop an asprin. It can actually save your life by thining the blood slightly. Of course if it's stomach or reflux problems it could make it worse. | ||

Just a quick comment Hardcore. If you think you're having a heart attack, get off the computer and go to the emergency room. just because it's not a full falling to the ground grabbing your chest screaming in pain heart attack, doesn't mean there's not going to be any reprecussions(sp) from it. Be safe. | ||

Hey guys whats up. Well, i finally went to sleep last night and my arm actually started feeling better when i was laying in the bed. This morning i woke up, and my chest and my arm felt fine. Got up, went to work and im still doing pretty good so far. I cant seem to feel any kind of pain in my chest at all today, but my arm is slightly hurting. Nothing compared to last night though, so its cool. Hopefully everything will be alright. If it doesnt stop, then i may go to the doc and get checked out. I appreciate all your comments and concerns last night......i just didnt know what to do, and i really dont want to tell my parents that im juicing and that my chest and arm is hurting! But that would be better than dieing, so we shall see. Thanks again guys, and i will keep you updated as the day goes on. One thing......you dont think my working out tonight would harm me do you? I just dont wanna be doing legs and fall out in the floor. Not good.....that wouldnt be good at all. ------------------ | ||

Hardcore I posted several times asking about the ARA-Test2500 with the brown flip cap for the same reason i know someone on ARA-Test 2500 with the brown cap and hes having the same problems chest and arm pain feels extremly full quick and has constant cough and sweats like dog esp during sleep we both have talked to other bros and they know of the ARA-T2500 with the black flip cap but not the brown if thats the one your taking maybe theres something wrong with the ARA-T with the brown cap and I can't seem to find anyone else using it on this board stuff My bro is concerned that it might be fake and making him sick. | ||

Man that is fucked up. I know for sure that the bottle i got was legit though. My buddy is taking the Aratest like i am taking too. We are using different bottles, but they are the same lot numbers. I know they both had the metal tear off tops.....not the newer black tops. But i just received a few more bottles of the black top Aratest, and it is exactly like the previous metal tops that i have been taking. So, i dont know man, i hope that its not bogus because i have taken an entire bottle of it already and im in my 3rd week! My buddy has been feeling fine, and has had no symptoms like i have. This is weird. Hey all of you guys, im gonna list all the supp's that im taking too: 5grams Pantothenic Acid 2 grams Evening primrose oil 1500mg B-12 Megamen Multivitamins 4 Liverite's This is what i am taking every day. Could something like that be the cause of my pains? I can slowly feel it in my chest again......but not in my arm now. Man this sucks. Its too damn weird for me......i dont know what im gonna do. ------------------ | ||

Sounds like anxiety to me bro. I had the same shit happen to me. It was at the end of a test/eq cycle. I saw my BP was a bit high and I freaked. Shit all of a sudden hurt and shit. Best thing to do is relax and not worry about it. If the pain continues I'd go get checked out. I agree that the pain would be much more severe if it were a heart attack. Later, Green | ||

Hey Bro, Just a quick word for ya. Chest pains from a heart attack do not follow any set pattern. On the other hand I've had what you've had before and it was almost always after a back workout. Felt like chest pain but was actually back spasms. I even get pain down the arms sometime. (Has your back been hurting?) I've been to the hospital for it and was told I was fine. Here's my advice. Make an appointment with your doc to get a complete checkup. Tell him about your pain so his exam will include some kind of EKG. Good luck andd don't worry. Also you might want to stay off the orals, to many damn side effects. | ||

Damn that is scary stuff bro! I would still go see a cardiovascular physician and have it checked out. Unfortunately people do not go to the doc when they have moderate pains as you have had. The thing is, it could be a possiblity, that you could have experienced a minor infarction (heart attack) not bad enough to cause severe pain. If that is the case and you dont have it checked out, if you were to ever have another one it could be alot worse and more dangerous. I've done an internship in a cardiovascular office for a few weeks so I've seen a little bit. Not to mean to scare you bro, just looking out for ya. | ||

I was doing a cycle of sustenon and I had almost the same problem, a pain in the right side of my chest. It started in the first week. I stopped after 4 weeks (for another reason). I am 1 week out know and I still have the problem. Hurts to breath sometimes. Sometimes I don't notice it and other times It is unbearable. Thought may I just needed to do some cardio but my friend has the same problem an he is taking the same. Hope it goes away soon. | ||

Well, guys my damn chest and arm have been hurting me all day long. I think i may just be to stressed out, or pulled something......at least, that is what i would like to think. Do you think it could be from holding my arm at a strain while im clicking this damn mouse looking at posts? I know that sounds stupid as hell, but it did make me wonder. Hopefully tonight i will be able to workout good....doing legs, so its gonna be a tough night. I got my bloodpressure checked at the pharmacy at a drugstore and they said it was normal. So maybe everything is fine....man, im 21....im too young to have a heart attack.  I have a contest to train for, but my health has to come first. Ill keep you all informed. ------------------ | ||

true you could have pulled something or could be having muscle spasms in your thoracic cavity. Deep tissue that has been pulled or is spasming can mimic the feeling of a heart attack and can reoccur like yours has. | ||

Hey bro, this could be a case of thoracic outlet syndrome (see post "Arms falling asleep? Thoracic Outlet Syndrome?" by yours humbly) or another nerve entrapment. I'm guessing this is not a heart problem (although as with any medical concern, you should consult a qualified medical professional, and not on the web). Save me the typing and check out my old post, this seems like a real possibility of TOS. Peace! ------------------ | ||

I'm not a doc and I haven't had personal experience with dbol, but when was the last time you took a healthy shit..........Sometimes when I can't eat more then a couple of bites, it is caused from being backed up, and i'll get pains in my chest. Tb Huge | ||

Please see a doctor, at least to rule out a heart attack or other serious problem. It may turn out to be gas or anxiety, but get a doctor's opinion anyway. Doc Savage | ||

Whats up guys. Thanks for all your replys to my freaky ass post. My chest and arm hurt off and on all day long until about 3pm this afternoon. I went to the gym and worked my legs harder than i have in my entire life, and i didnt have the slightest pain in either my arm nor my chest. And i take about 3 to 4 healthy shits a day, so i dont think im blocked up! I also checked my blood pressure a few times today, and im perfectly normal. So, im just gonna ride this out and see what happens.......im sure that since it isnt hurting anymore tonight, that hopefully it will not come back. Lets hope so...... Well, thanks again guys. I will keep you all updated, and hopefully it wont hurt anymore. If it starts again, im going to the doc. :) ------------------ | ||
