I'm a 25y/o male. I had stayed in very good shape throughout my life with a strict excersize program and diet until about 3 years ago. I have smoked cigarettes on and off for the past 7 years, and I just quit for good. I have experimented with various drugs, such as cocaineDrug abuse and ecstasy in my youth, but not for an extended period of time. I do use smokeless tabacco of the "dip" variety, but steadily lessening the amount per day.
I have used steroids, on and off for the past 4 years, to include: Testosterone, T3(thyroid hormone), clenbuterol, DNP, Deca durabolin, Masteron, Equipoise, Nolvadex, Proviron, Ephedrine, HumanHcg in urine Hiv infection Human bites Human papillomavirus vaccine Growth Hormone and Trenbolone(all 3 varieties, too !)
I cannot pattern either of the 2 occurances in conjunction with steroid usage either, although, I can tell you that trenbolone is noturious for causing shortness of breath, but only while on an active treatment. Thyroid Hormone, in access, can cause palpitations.
Now, I had not been on any steroids, including Trenbolone or Thyroid hormone for the past year, until about 2 weeks ago, as I started a Thyroid Hormone(25mcg daily, increasing to no more than 75mcg daily), Human Growth Hormone(2iu daily) and Testosterone(600mg weekly) treatment. During my "off time" I still suffered from both syptoms (symptoms).
I quit smoking in hopes that it would help with my sudden "lack of" or shortness of breath.Too soon to tell.
My lifestyle needs some revamping, but I plan to return to my stricter diet, consuming very little red meat, more fish, chicken, whole grains, veggies and fruits.
I suppliment with most normal vitamins, including essential fatty acids.
Any advice, suggestions(I know, stop using steroids !) and/or precautions would be greatly appreciatted. This situation has me extremely worried, especially at such a young age.
p.s. I have noticed that when I voluntarily breath deep and slow, the shortness of breath can be felt even while not talking, but it is VERY, VERY mild, the "thump", cant tell if I feel that while breathing deep and contorlled.
