anyone else has ever had trouble breathing

[scout69]

As you know from my posts I get anxiety attacks this started in prison and continues now..Like I said I hav Klonapin and xanax but even when calm Now I have trouble breathing..And am starting to wonder if this breathing problem could be associated with anything else IE--Gear, Wokouts pulled muscles anything..Anyone have any info on this

It's anxiety bro. I had really bad asthma as a kid so it's even more intense for me cuz I really know what it's like to have limited lung capacity. I used to freak out so bad I'd drive myself to the ER. After EKG, bloodwork, etc they told me I was fine. After awhile I stopped having them.

Or-you've gained too much weight too quickly and your body is having a difficult time adjusting???

Athsma? I have trouble breathing when on. So, I get an inhaler to top off a 46 week cycle. LOL!!

if ur on aromatizing gear and are carrying lots of water that sometimes causes poor wind, also dbol for extended periods causes anemia (after intial boost in rbc) which will cause poor wind.

I have big time anxiety too. A combination of P7, xanax and valerian root works best for me. P7 is from the AF store. But I am at the point where I can control the anxiety on my own if need be. The medication is now just more of a thing of comfort. I'm certain one day I won't need it at all (soon, I hope!!).

For you, I think you may have gained so much weight, so quick that your body needs time to catch up. That also happens to me.

Maybe you should switch to weed?

It could be lots of things - if it was me (and it was me one time) I would not let them dismiss it as anxiety. I would head to another doctor and get a second opinion if you have not done so.

When you have trouble breathing are you not able to catch your breath or does it hurt to breath? If you can't catch your breath does your heart speed up? Can you briskly go up a few flights of stairs without losing your breath?

As far as meds:
4mg sounds like a lot - what would this dose have done when you 18 years old?

Stick with the Klonopin - because of its longer half-life it is safer than the Xanax from an addiction perspective and I think works better for anxiety anyway.
Also, if it is anxiety there are breathing exercises you can do to lower you pulse and bp and calm you down and they work faster and directly control the problem. I used to do one (sometimes still do when I get pissed off) that I can tell you but it sounds so retarded I'm not even going to describe it here. PM me if you interested.

Nuev, don't be shy, post up! That could help a lot of people, myself included!!

go get yourself checked out by a doctor. tell him/her the problems you are having. you don't necessarily have to tell tehm about the anabolic use. it could be helpful, but more than likely, most doctors would dismiss all other possibilities and tell you those horrible steroids were the cause of all your ills and they will kill you...and maybe they'd be right. BUT...first I'd have all the tests run, don't disclose the AAS, DO disclose the other meds, if they can't narrow it down to some factor and help you feel better, then maybe it IS the AAS!!

I went totheER sat and to the doctor today she gave me klonapin 1mg pills 60 of them said take 2 a day and also paxil

Alright bro here it is:

The simplest exercise is just proper deep breathing. Inhale deeply, hold for one-1000, two-1000, then exhale slowly and completely for one-1000, two-1000, three-1000. The exhale should be done in a way that you feel like there isn't a single molecule left in your lungs to push out. At the end of the exhale you will be pushing with your stomach and diaphram to get that last bit of air out. Sounds simple but the point is that it will teach you to breathe correctly - from your stomach instead of your chest.

Another exercise that will help more if your are having an anxiety attack or are about to lose your temper is to do the same as above but on the exhale you will say four words as you exhale and as you say each word you will touch your thumb to each of your fingertips on each hand starting with the pinky. So big deep inhale from your stomach, hold one-1000, two-1000, then exhale and during the exhale slowly say a chant like "I".... "like"...."getting"...."laid" as part of the exhale. You canchoose any four words you like. On each word you will also on both hands touch your thumb to the tips of the other four fingers on the same hand. When you exhale the final word you should be just barely able ot push it out, really getting your lungs empty. The point with this exercise is two things: you are doing correct deep breathing in conjunction with focusing your attention on the words and the touch of your hands. The deep breathing helps slow your heart down and the focusing on something, expecially something tactile or with a pattern helps fix the anxiety, panic, anger, etc. I can't remember what this technique is called but I have witnessed people who had PTSD from bad shit fix their panic by simply tapping on their wrist with their fingers.

I'm frequently in very stressful situations, notice my heart rate increasing, then I'll remind myself to breathe correctly and I can get it back down. Takes some practice but it is worth it.



Another chemical fix for anxiety is beta beta blockers and those might be safer than the Klon. Ask your doctor about it. I know that with a beta blocker you can be in a shit your pants I might die right here situation and stay smooth and cool.

Water retention can do that also.

Dbol causes anemia? Can you link or explain more?

This thread is totally me about 4-5 years ago. I found that Creatine cause some shortness of breath. I don't know why but if I use 5g per day, within days I experience the said problem. I've found other people with similar problems but I think it's rare among Creatine users. I've been on alprazalam and Paxil and they do help with depression/anxiety and/or stress. I've also been to the hospital with anxiety attack and they did a EKG and sent me home...It can be life altering and the funny thing is nothing is wrong!

the only form anaeamia dbols may cause is iron deficency aneamia therefore if taking them for a long time (time until effected will be dependant on dose as you will only become aneamic once you have used the iron stores) herefore if planning on taking for a long time r vegetarian or have had hostory of aneamia then take ferrous sulphate supplmentation as there will be no aneamia from the dbols.

most poeple in the western world do not have to worry about folate (ecept when pregnant) or vit b12 our bodies have good stores of these substances. I think it is a 4 month supply of folate our body stores and we eat about 3x the amount we need anyways and with b12 we have a 1-2year store so no need there unless on something like t3 for a really long time or you have congential problems of either of these but if you aint under a specialist you need no worry about them as you would no about it and the bdols wont casue it.
