Blood Clots

[Turtleflap]

So about 6 months go I had trouble breathing it was quite mild but I could tell it was not normal.
Went to a clinic and they rushed me to another hospital based on my blood test, my d-dimer levels where so high it was off the chart which indicated a clot likely in my lungs.

Got a CT and sure enough a small clot in my lung.
I was on TRT when this happened and I have done 1 cycle previously.
All my blood tests are done monthly and supervised by my family Dr who is aware of my AAS use and every single blood test was totally normal besides high testoserone & slightly elevated estrogen.

My first cycle was 300mg and it went well but I will say I just felt slow and heavy during my cycle and did not feel great, looking back it seemed to be high red blood cell symptons and after my cycle it seemed ok than a few months pass and my blood work continued to be normal so I went on TRT 125mg, 4 weeks into that I had similar symptons and I had a clot.

Thoughts?

Focus on dealing with the blood clotting issue. You have a PCP ask about talking to a hematologist or a pulmonologist, who can provide specialized care and advice regarding your clot and its potential causes.

Nothing else matters. Best of luck this sounds manageable.

Get it checked out. Sounds like a pvc. May not be a big deal if it's not causing you problems.

I had a-flutter and it got really bad on gear. I ended up having an ablation to correct it. I'm fine now.

Did you take any covid-19 vaccinations?

I am on the waiting list for a hematologist. Currently on blood thinners until I see him. I am back to playing sports and working out just not the same as I was before which I was told could take 2 years to be 100%

pvc? Interesting to hear someone else who maybe gear did not agree with them at first.

HELL NO. I am anti covid anti vax.
Funny you ask this because at the hospitals all they kept asking me was about what vaccine I took and always shocked when I said I am unvaxxed.

I also learned speaking to the hematologist clinic that since the vaccines came out they are months behind and dealing with a massive increase in young people with clots.

Just before my clot I was so sick I was coughing violently for weeks to the point I was coughing blood. Several docs said I had a viral infection of some sort and those can cause clots.

PVC= pre ventricular contractions

Any side of the vaccine is like 100x more likely if you get the actual virus. I'm not going to get into a debate on this, but if you read up on it (in actual medical journals) you will see...

Not worth your time - you know those types will never listen.

This stuff has broken marriages, created step children, split gym bros, parted the red seas.

Edit. I'm not vaccd

What the fuck is wrong with you? Premature Ventricular Contractions are NOT pulmonary embolisms. Both are two different things. This advice is gutter trash.

OP, pulmonary embolisms can be caused by a lot of things. Are you making sure your TRT injections are bubble/air free? That helps a lot to make sure you aren't injecting air into your body.

As for the blood clots, you should always be monitoring your bloods during TRT or cycles to catch them earlier.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. In nearly every thread, this guy is offering completely anti-scientific bullshit advice to people who are willing to listen to him.

No, it doesn't. In fact, if you're the type to get fucked over by Covid (which by itself causes blood clots), then you are more likely to die from Covid or have very negative health impacts. You would've gotten it anyway with the virus, or died from it.

The vaccine protects against that.

Some of us actually went and read these journals and have actual medical degrees or courses under our belt. Cite some fucking evidence so those of us who actually believe in science can rip it apart, or show you your complete lack of reading comprehension.

Unfortunately, you're in denial and trying to cope with the situation. I know it's a difficult pill to swallow.

Then show me. I listen. Break out the data. I'm all ears.

Lol wow looking back at this I think I was responding to a post on another thread about an irregular heartbeat and somehow it ended up here. You're right, it looks pretty dumb on my part. Sorry for pissing you off!

Vax don't protects, vax kills.

What blood thinner? Eliquis, warfarin?
Just curious, I have had something similar occur.

Everyone's different, your odds have gone from rolling the dice, to playing Russian roulette.

I'll do you a solid, take your Docs advice.

No Bro advice on this one....

I am glad you mentioned this, I am curious if a injection had air or a bad injection could cause such a thing? doctors also told me sometimes shit happens and we might never know why and it might never happen again.

One of the ER docs who was super cool said my body may just not be able to
process the added test and said it might just not be for me.

Eliquis I take twice a day until I see the hematologist. Possible I am on the thinners for life.

Sometimes there is stuff out of our control. I had a stroke a few months back. It was a blood clot stroke. I was sure it was the gear i even came on here high from anesthesia and made a post because i was afraid of dying. I had a tear in my artery and the tear is common from snapping your neck or strenuous activity. It was small and would heal on its own. But it caused a blockage which overall caused a blood clot. But doctor said bloods were good it just wasn’t my lucky day. So sometimes paper work is good but shit just haappens. It was honestly the scariest shit i went through. And im still dealing with how it fucked me up mentally. Im sure my little story doesn’t help much but, sometimes shit is just going to happen the way it’ll happen

Eliquis is some expensive stuff,$600 monthly without insurance.

Usualy a 1 year minimum. I'm getting close. Became anemic, started Trt again seeking improvement.

I dont think a bad injection would cause it.

I think it was just dumb luck. Bad luck.

bro, look. The gear isn't worth your life.

Yeah man, thats why i was so certain it was the gear when it wasn’t.
