Scare of my life today...

[kingcreed2000]

I had the scare of my life today. I have been dieting since Dec. 12 and have gone from 245 lb @ 23% to 207 @ 12%. I have been doing tons of cardio, eating 6-7 meals per day and have been supplementing with different thermos. I was trying to drop as much bodyfat as possible so that I could start a "cutting" cycle this summer. I have had excellent cycle from several fellas, especially M18 and Ultragainz. Anyway, over the last month I have been using Lipok, Yohimbe, and L-tyrosine 3 x per day at 2 lipok, Yohimbe standardized for 8 mg of yohimbine, and 2 g of L-tyrosine without any problems. 1st dose before am cardio without any probs. Well today, I was just sitting down getting ready to do my morning cardio and I started to feel the familiar heat flash but then I started to feel shortness of breath, my legs and arms started to go numb, and I had lots of difficulty thinking. Guessing that I might have been hypoglycemic, I got myself a coke and granola bar but this did nothing. The first episode lasted about 20 seconds. After about 15 min, I had another one that again lasted about 20 seconds. I tried to not have anyone call EMS, as I thought that it would just pass, but fellas, I was so scared I couldn't help but call EMS. I checked out with them ok, and went to the doc, and vitals checked out normal but there was some concern as to whether or not I may have had a mild heart attack. The dr. said that it was probably Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (a rhythm problem) but I have been advised to see a specialist. Sorry for taking up so much space, but I just want the fellas to be careful with thermos. I was the biggest advocate for them, and I still love them but I don't know if I will ever use them again. PLEASE BROS, BE CAREFUL. I think that this morning is the closest brush with death that I have ever had. I still gotta get checked but for now, I am cool. One day your are fine and then 2 seconds later you are lying on the floor with tears in your eyes, praying that you will make it. Take care fellas.

i have taken lipo before and had to stop taking it because of similar reasons. the shit works, but it is dangerous.

 

[ultragainz]

how much were you taking?

 

[Suspension]

Lipo is VERY effective.

I got off it because I felt like complete shit.

This is a good heads up.

 

[Delinquent]

same here with Lipo. I was covered in a rash, could hardly breath, chest hurt like a bitch and I had a headache from hell. Needless to say I stopped and probably won't try it again.
Oh yea, I've been off of Lipo for five days now and my piss is still orange as hell. I'm trying to drink as much water as I can but it doesn't change

Good to hear your O.K.

Hope everything comes back O.K.

That's not high bp in my opinion. That's a reaction to all of the stim's. The doc called it right, fellas. Stim's are dangerous, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Disrupted heart rythm is the cause of many deaths indeed. Not trying to scare anyone, but that's a fact.

I read that ECA with Yohimbe is not good ....

What kind of intensity do you do for cardio .. going above 80% of your heartrate level could increase blood pressure ... not good ...

How much ECA are you taking ???

Maybe you out to take a break ... 1 week off ... just rest

I got sick for working too much ... I just totally rested for a week and things got better

What you described sounds a lot like a panic attack also. I suffer from those. They sent me to a cardiologist when I was first diagnosed and all checked out well. Stimulants can trigger panic attacks. Anyway for your sake I hope it isn't heart related.
