I was wondering if anyone else has had this and what it was and what they did about it. I have been off cycle for about a month and a half now. I was sick the last week of cycle and two weeks afterwards right before PCT. About 3 weeks ago, one night I went to bed and my heart felt like it was gonna pound through my chest, it was beating hard and fast, and I didn't sleep at all because of it. Three nights later it happened again. Its not happened again after that, but sometimes I'll be just laying there and my heart will start beating hard, and when I workout it beats extremely fast and hard. Well yesterday and today I went to the doc, they did an EKG and did some stress tests and my bp and heart rythms are fine. He told me to do more cardio, like I was out of shape!! I asked him why does my heart just beat like crazy out of no where then when I'm doing nothing? He couldn't answer that, he just said when it happens, come in and we'll EKG you again. Well, I'm thinking maybe the meds that I was on while I was sick (Entex) had something to do with it along with some major dehydration. The Entex supposedly can cause rapid heart rate, plus I haven't been drinking as much water as normal, so dehydration could be also. Anyway, has anyone else had anything like this happen and what did you do to stop it?

Cannons,

I have a friend that almost died from a irregular heart beat, luckily they got it under control. He was put on the same meds I was. I can't remember the name, but it's basically a heart relaxer. Maybe for piece of mind, until you get it figured out, ask the doc to give you a script of nitro and carry it with you. If you run into problems take one and see if it helps. Nitro is usually used to thin the blood quickly, but it you experinced a temp blockage that night, a nitro could disolve it rather quickly. I carry mine mainly just as a security blanket. It's nice to know that you have something on the spot, just in case. Did the check your T-cell count to rule out a minor heart attack?

My vote goes for th Entex most likely to blame...

But I have a couple questions for you: What other suppliments do you take? When I was taking "Stacker 2" it did that too me and I only took one pill when I woke up in the morning for energy.... I would feel fine then when I would go to bed I would wake up with my heart beating hard... and slightly irregular... to stop it I would take 1/2 pill of my BP medication and soon it would stop... Those Stacker 2 will kill you....

The next thing I would do is check often your BP... It can go up and down...

Were you taking t3?

Lastly if you are taking many suppliments think drug interactions... Go here if you want to check drug interactions: Humana Drug Interactions http://www.buildingbetterhealth.com/hpmddi

My heartbeat does it when I am on and it does it for about 2 weeks when I cycle off then it stops on its own and it has never happened to me before I started juicing so I figured that is what it was, because when i am off it stops.

sgammons

I'm not taking anything that would make my heart beat like that, just some vitamins. I have a pretty good idea based on some info that someone else has given me that it was the entex, dehydration and my anxiety about the problem that made it worse. I'm drinking shitloads of water now and trying not to worry about it, and see if I can't keep it at bay until the entex totally gets out of my system.

Let me know what you find out and what it is.

sgammons

I can actually vouch for both the responses of sgammons and visions. Entex was banned because of the ingredient phenypropanolamine. This was dc'd. excellent for nasal and sinus problems but it was causing serious heart problems. Also, everytime I am on a cycle , the aas causes this, and that is why it is important to be in shape prior to getting on aas. when I say shape i mean cardion shape where the heart is able to endure such stress easily.

I also have anxites,the doc said I had high bp and put me on 10mgs lisopien for a while,But I never had a ireguler heart beat,I wouldn't worry to much,that will only make you have anxite attack bro,just try and relax ok,keep cool

Oh,,, maybe I shouldn't have said irregular heart beat. What I mean by irregular is that it pounds hard and fast sometimes, not like out of rhythm or anything. I am surprised that if entex was banned, why my doc prescribed it to me....TWICE!! That pisses me off and I'm gonna look into this some more..

Cannons how long has it been since you have taken Entex? Are you still having this problem or are you worried it could happen again... I would say you were one of the people that have a bad reaction to the drug... Also you may have high BP or borderline high and this puts it over the edge... Strange how Dr's will give you something that can kill just to relieve cold symptoms...
