DNP - Labored Respiration

[Mark4124]

I am currently on a DNP cycle at 600mg/day. My breathing is extremely fast and labored. I feel like I am short of breath alot of the time. Is this normal? I have a heart condition, should I be worried that this change in respiration will adversely affect my hear?

Help, this is an important health question.

It is normal. though what kind of heart condition do you have?

lost any more weight yet mark?

The type of heart condition would really matter. How long are you planning to use DNP?

I would say, off hand, that over 7 days with a heart condition is not a feasible idea. Just my personal view.

I have a single ventricle. Some people talk about having holes in their ventriclar or atrial walls. I do not have a hole, but rather I have no ventricular septum at all. Basically what they have done is re-routed my return circulation around the heart and directly to my lungs. There is some minor atrial assist, but no ventricular assist. My heart is really just a pump designed to deal with the return flow from my lungs and out to systemic circulation. As a result of having no ventricular septum, some of the nerve pulses that control rate also do not get through properly and thus I need a pacemaker for both atrial and ventricular pulsing, but mostly for ventricular pulsing. Without my pacemaker I will not die but my resting rate could be like 45-55 and my sleeping rate so low that it is undetectible using modern heart monitors, (makes for some annoying nights in the hospital when they wake me up with a code red insisting that I am dead when all I am trying to do is sleep). As far as all this shit goes, I probably do not have enough respect for my condition, but it would be nonetheless reasuring to know that this is a normal side effect from DNP, which your replies seem to indicate.
Thanx,
Mark

DNP is poison. What do you expect will happen when you ingest it?

 

[Mark4124]

2Thick - There are alot of things in this world that are posionous when used in the wrong amounts but are benefical when used intelligently. Digitalis is one insanely good example, a better example of this principal then even DNP. Digitalis taken in dosages of 0.125-0.5 milligrams, or just slightly higher, can make the hear pump more effeciently and can even bring someone out of congestive heart failure. This drug can very literally be a life saver. But wait, lets get to the good part. Digitalis can be one of the most potent posions on earth. 2mg can kill you. Your heart will stop and you will fall to the ground dead. Whats worse is that it binds to blood protiens and is very difficult to extract even if one is taken to the hospital immediately after ingestion of a deadly dose. Okay, I think we got the point. DNP is no different if you believe those who claim that it has no determental effects after a short cycle at a moderate dose. Does it cause cancer? I guess the jury is still out on that one. But what we do know for sure is that you can take it in the short term and not die. I am asking something a little more specific than that. What are its effects on respiration? What are its cardiac effects? To say that it is posion is not particularly helpful in this case. Not trying to piss you or anyone else off, just making a point about what I am trying to get accross here.
