Week 3 TRT: Strong Heartbeats, Tightness in Chest

Just an update… blood pressure is 136/91 pulse is 74…still having that anxious chest tightness…went away for a couple days then came back…

I’m also on thyroid med, Anastrozole, Vitamin D and DHEA…

Dr. wants to see me on Tuesday…is it possibly the thyroid meds?

Dhea can do it . I just tried it again and stopped for all those reasons and more.

Thyroid shouldn’t if you need it.

Stop the DHEA. Ask for pregnalone. This converts to dhea naturally and sides are not apparent. Helps with mood focus and memory.

Anastrazole : it could be causing some of your issues if e2 is to low.Low e2= anxiety depression bone issues and many others.

I’m experience chest tightness everyday and am not on thyroid medicine, but am on TRT 2 weeks into a new protocol and levels won’t be stable for another 4 weeks.

It’s the fluctuating hormone levels that can cause chest tightness and is common.

Gents, thanks for all the help…stopped the DHEA and that did the trick…first time feeling normal in a while…have Dr. appointment tomorrow to see what can be done, maybe start lower dose of DHEA or the supplement recommended above… just wanted to give you guys thanks

Dhea converts to e2 from what others are telling me so that is probably part of the problem. I had to stop dhea because I was getting weird rashes, swollen ankles and falling asleep midday after just two or three days of the shit.

I’m staying off it unless my doc can give me 5mg vs the 20he has me on. Even then I’m not sure.

I will report back on how much Preg Converts to dhea naturally on my next blood work.
