Diving and AAS

[eastcoastplayer]

some dive instructors will site certain prescription drugs and even otc allergy meds that should not be taken while diving.

anybody have any information on this? what aas may have inherent dangers when diving? thanks in advance

Some AAS cause people to retain water, raise blood pressure, stimulate CNS, have a bad cough, and to have lowered cardio tolerance all depending on the individual. These are all things you would want to avoid when diving.

And at depth interesting things happen to your body. It has been a long time so I can't remember the details but there is some effect on the dilation of your blood vessels and lowering of your BP. Also, if you have high BP you can end up with excessive fluid in your lungs but once again I don't remember the details.There are definite physiologic changes at depth.

Medical incidents while diving can be very unforgiving so I'd be careful and make sure you are in tune with your body.

This is a good question for the "Medical Issues" forum.

He obviously wants to go diving and is taking/wants to take AAS. Are you that thick?

This is a BB board not a diving board!

This is actually a fitness site with various forums and subforums and we are specifically in the "Steroids Discussion Forum". People post questions related to steroids such as eastcoastplayer did.

The guy has a perfectly valid question; just as valid as the Western Union question you so helpfully responded to yesterday. This isn't a Western Union forum, right? But it has something to do with AAS so it fits here just like most other question related to AAS.

MORON....what the fuck is your problem? is this all you have done since you joined THIS MONTH is come on here and tell us we can't talk about something that we CAN!!!

who the fuck are you anyways?

 

[immortalis]

I dive.

I've dived while on gear before.

I dont know of any possible side effects that could occur from having gear in your body at any given depth. I really dont think its an issue.

This forum is for all types of sports and activities,not just BB.. Id bomb you, but I gave all my karma out today!

If you're planning on injecting while underwater, you may have some issues. One would be that lobsters are sneaky little bast*rds that love Tren and will snatch your sh*t up while you're admiring coral reefs.
Other than that, you're good.
But I WOULD be careful if on a med like Clen. Elevated heart rate and/or BP is not something you want when diving.

With the inproved protein syn.....I would think that nitrogen levels would increase faster than normal though....I wonder if the standard math for time&depth would still apply for someone on gear to avoid nitrogen narcosis.....Interesting post dude.

This guy must be the kid in the gym who takes a few d-bols a day and thinks he is 300lbs solid at 160.....What a pudwhaker.

Ya I took scuba diving for an easy class in college so we went pretty in depth but that was years ago. Thats exactly what I was thinking about - increased nitrogen retention and nitrogen narcosis. Definitely a good question. I dove during my first cycle but I only went like 20 feet down by some reefs so that wouldn't really count.

I think the nitrogen retention from AAS pertains to 'dissolved nitrogen' in the blood and tissue, but I could be wrong. If it did, the 'partial pressure' table would have to be modified to include a longer safety stop at depth, yes? It does warrant some research, because the bends are nothing to mess around with. Read this:
Decompression sickness (DCS) is not due to the pressure of nitrogen at depth per se, but instead to the formation of bubbles as dissolved nitrogen comes out of the tissues with ascent. Since bubble formation is in part related to the total amount of nitrogen in the tissues, the dive time is important (the longer the dive, the more nitrogen enters the tissues, up to a point). Thus DCS is a function of depth and duration of the dive and, at least among recreational divers, is a far more common problem than nitrogen narcosis. Unlike nitrogen narcosis, DCS can lead to permanent physical impairment.

So it looks like you would have to modify your diving time (make it shorter) by some unknown quantity based on starting with a higher amount of nitrogen retention to begin with. Hmmmm...

I am not a diver so I would have no idea although I am very interested in the truth for this question. Oh and I hate stupid people.

 

[ItalianMuscle27]

I would journey to say that any drug that increases your blood pressure, wouldnt be good for diving! Best bet would be to seek a professional opinion..

that sounds right on the money bro. most of the dives i will be on (mid cycle)are mostly shallow, no more than 40-60 ft. but i understand that you hit another atmosphere underwater at 33 ft.(@10m?) I will make sure to take my time ascending , like you said the bends are no joke. i apprecite all the replies and the good info. and thanks for sticking up for the newbie. i was gonna try to delete this post after big mark replied, im glad i didnt. k to all (i even sent big mark some k
