heart attack on cycle, need help

[babyfaced monster]

My friend suffered a mild heart attack after his first week on deca/dbol/test. It wasnt the juice that caused it but the accumulation of caffeine pills, ephedrine, stress and lack of sleep and the few days of reunion drinking with old rugby buddies. He's 55 and in GREAT shape and his job description is in the weightlifting department. After this incident, it was his wake up call. Hes never gonna take caffeine, ephedrine or a single drink again. Death was too close. The doctors says he can continue weightlifting because of all the years hes put in the gym have contributed to his health and good shape. The doc said it was a "atrial fibulation" and he is wondering if he still can continue with his cycle. ALL advice would be appreciated.

Why not ask the doctor. The one who went to school for this kind of question.

I dont believe the people on Elitefitness are qualified to make that decision. This is life or death and he should approach it with a little more wisdom. I would seek out a trained professional - maybe in sports medicine or something and get their input, or have them refer him to someone who knows.

I am 52 and if I just had a heart attack I would cut my cycle, build my heart and strength back up.

The bp spike that test and d-bol give guys are age could give his weaken heart a fatal attack.


This is a no gray area simply black/white, no don't do the cycle until and when he gets healthy, which could be years.

How do you know???

All AAS are known to put some stress on your heart and cardiovascular system. Of course all that caffeine, ephedrine accelerates and amplifies any existing heart problem. I think your friend should forget using all of the above drugs for the rest of his life!!!!

"he is wondering if he still can continue with his cycle" - Are both of you really that stupid?

time to confide in the doc....RIGHT NOW!

his gear could have an effect on any treatment or scrip hes getting. even if hes already stopped injecting.

He needs to discontinue his cycle asap. He should never use eca, clen, or t-3 agin. In the future d-bol and anadrol are out. Recent studies indicate that testosterone injections may be very helpful in healing a weakened heart, if your friend decides to use test in the future I would strongly suggest that he uses liquidex with it and monitor his blood pressure often. I think that your your friend needs to sit down with a qualified cardiologist and discuss the seriousness of what has occurred. Also I suggest that your friend stay clean of all drugs bodybuilding and otherwise for at least six months, with the exception of those meds prescribed by his doctor.

Yup, stim's will mess you up alright. Stim's are worse for your heart than anything else IMO, especially for otherwise healthy individuals. Seems obvious but not many seem to get it. He should get himself healthy again and reassess where he's at wrt AS.
