Chest pain

34 years old
5 cycles

5'11"
On my first cycle test e 500mg ew i had this problem. Went to hospital, lowered dose to 350 and was fine.
The next few cycles i had it here and there but nothing to get alarmed about.
On my last cycle it got bad again, went to the hospital again, sat through all those test again, nothing wrong with me again.
Of course i never mentioned my use to the doc.
For Clarity, that is 2 times I have sat through 6+ hours of different kinds of tests and they can find nothing wrong.
Needless to say I have been doing research but haven't come up with a definitive answer.
I believe a part of it is anxiety but I believe that the anxiety comes after the initial symptom of chest pain. The anxiety then just makes it worse. I can take a small dose of that certain anxiety medication ( not sure if I'm allowed to mentioned by name) and 20 minutes later I am 100 percent fine.
Second suspect,
The doctor mentioned something about a common sports injury in the chest that can cause this. Something about tiny fractures in the cartlidge of the ribs and chest. Can't remember the exact name he called it.
Suspect number 3,
I have read a little bit about certain methods and ingredients used to brew the gear itself can cause this. I have used a different domestic ugl for every cycle that have done but the information I find is very little and very vague.
Maybe it's a combination of all 3?
Lol That would be my luck!
Can any of you good bro's shed some light on this for us?

I assume your bp is good/blood work good? and with those "tests" your heart was prob checked out while "on" the gear in question.I am not a doc, but if everything checks out normal and its 3 different labs gear and you have no allergies, otherwise healthy,,, i would GUESS that it may be mental,, not a knock on you bro it can happen to anybody the mind is very powerful..
Get everything checked out medically then if no answer it may be your nerves..

Yeah i forgot to mention that i monitor my blood pressure regularly and it's never high, even on cycle it stays pretty steady. And i have had 2 complete work ups of every heart test they have.
anxiety is a suspect, i have had full blown anxiety attacks when i was younger long before aas.
I guess im just looking for anyone that has had a similar experience with this that has come up with a definitive answer.

Im not discounting anything medical but here is a very very common thing that happens. It happened to me my first cycle and I got anxiety, thought I was gonna die ect... went to ER multiple times had tests ect...nothing wrong with me.

Its very possible you just have a rib out. One of your ribs where it connects to your sternum is possibly slightly out of "joint" so to speak. Kind of like a knuckle that needs to be cracked and hurts until you do it.
With AAS and extreme muscle growth and using much heavier weights on chest movements ect....it happens alot.
For me i got a sharp pain at the top of a deep inhale and I was like WTF!!!! then it happend a few more times and I panic'd....omg these steroids are giving me a heart attack.....yeah ok....I was a dumb ass kid. But Thats what it felt like.
Try extreme chest stretching, stretching with weights, even get a deep tissue massage.

Not saying it might not be another more serious issue but I have seen alot of bros get completely whigged out with this exact problem.

Best of luck

Nothing dumb about it bro.
I know the feeling well and it takes the fight out of you quick!
i really don't think it's anything serious.
I think it is just a reaction to the cut of the gear.

On my first cycle I to got some chest pains. Ended up as nothing. It had to worsen before I realised that I simply hurt a musle in my upper abbs near the chest. I figured since I was on cycle to workout real hard, to many hanging leg raises,crunches whatever. But I was real worried for awhile LOL

i have pulled a muscle in the middle of my chest from doing weighted dips that made me feel like i was having a heart attack when ever i would breath in. ive also pulled muscles in my rib cage that has caused me to cough up blood for weeks. or it could be what you said and just anxiety. steroids are notorious for enhancing how you feel one way or the other. for example; people who get angry easily are more prone to 'roid rage' than a normally mellow person or people who are prone to depression will get depressed more easily while on cycle. so i would assume it would be the same for anxiety.

I had the same problem after a test e cycle cuz I was lifting heavy on chest days but once I laid off the weight it the pain has sense gone away

Yo Gate,

It doesn't seem serious to me either. You can start crossing off suspects. Start with Suspect 3. Maybe get some pharma grade gear and try that. If you still experience the pain, we can chalk that out and you still have really good gear

I've created psychosomatic symptoms for myself. It may just be that or Burnthiscorpse has a pretty good idea too. Either way, keep us updated.

BTW, your new AVI is my favorite. Almost as good as mine.

I am not a doctor nor will I ever claim to be, however, in your situation I am damn near 99% sure I know the problem... If you have had all the necessary tests, including an EKG and they have found nothing wrong AND when you take anti-anxiety medication, you are fine 20 minutes later then this is what is going on here... You are suffering from panic attacks... You had ONE particular time where your chest either got tight or you had an overage of anxiety built up, then you probably got scared, your heart may have raced and you probably felt like you were going to pass out... This is common bro... So many people have this... How do you think I know so much about it? I dealt with it a long time ago... After that one time I am sure that everytime you get tight or do something that may have triggered it before, you have the same problem... If I am right with what I am saying then you have to learn how to talk yourself out of it... or be around someone that knows how to do it for you... I was lucky in a sense because my mom has dealt with this for quite some time so she always knows how to talk me out of it... you are fine, but you have to learn this bro... you will get past it, don't worry... it takes time and a lot of mental work but you will be fine!

I have some hg test e amps on the way now. Im in pct so it's going to be a while before i can run it. Want to run the test alone and see how it treats me. Like you said if I'm still having the same problem at least I'll have some really good gear!

Yeah bro i think you hit the nail on the head here.
I have had anxiety attacks when i was in my early 20's but its been more then 10 years without a problem.
About 3 years ago i started using aas and it seems to have started again.
I know im going to have to learn to deal with it but fuck does it suck ass when it happens.
