[QUOTE="mcs, post: 184803, member: 12"] Has anyone else experienced premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or other ectopic beats once GH is commenced? I've been prone to PVCs over the last couple years in varying frequencies. I take more than enough magnesium as a mainstay and many other supps to support cardio health. I am also on carvedilol and telmisartan for blood pressure management as well as NDT 1.5grains (97.5mg) for subclinical hypothyroidism. This is now the 2nd cycle of doctor-prescribed pharma-grade GH (taking to help speed up recovery of an injury) in which I started presenting with an increase in PVCs, noticeable palpitations and a marked increase in my sleep apnea (AHI) within 7-10 days of commencing GH. Dose is only 1.2iu sc. I use a Kardia app which allows me to monitor my own EKG readings. I feel ok otherwise, no other symptoms, maybe even a bit more energetic and have no problems training, no shortness of breath, no chest pain, no dizziness, some lightheadedness when standing up though. Whether it's directly or indirectly a result of exogenous GH is not clear, but is surely suspect. Something is irritating the cardiac muscle and it isn't stress. Or perhaps exacerbating the apnea which then is causing the arrhythmias (which is what my cardiologist thinks). Only other thing is perhaps the GH is interacting upsetting my thyroid homeostatis. Somehow, some way, starting GH upset my homeostatic controls and worsened my apnea and palps. Once I stopped, these symptoms minimized. Then I started again just to see, and sure enough, they started up again. And again, abated once I stopped the GH. Those with more experience with GH, please chime in. [/QUOTE]
