[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 223594, member: 43589"] If you had covid it is possible this was the cause. My wife caught it in July of 2020 and for almost a year she was dealing with the after effects. It started out with tachycardia. Anyway, sorry to hear about your issues. Hope you get that fixed. Readalot, it has not been possible to get blood work done in the past because you would have to divulge information to a doctor. I got luck and found a good doctor in 2016, plus a few inexpensive services started popping up where you could get a online doctor to sign off on blood work orders. Once all of this happened I started testing frequently. Before that I never went to a doctor for anything other than knee surgery in 2010. So I never had any issues with AAS that I knew of. No doubt age plays a part, as we age the rate at which process drugs in the body also slows down. I did legs today at the gym and actually forced my heart rate up to 161. 155 is my age related max. This happened even with a beta blocker. All I had to do this week is increase the rest periods to 3 minutes between sets. I previously only rested 45 seconds. I never got dizzy, ight headed or super winded. I am very disappointed with my cardiologist. I chose this guy based on his qualifications. Yet I have only seen him one time in two years. I only see a NP. She claims all decisions are made by the doctor. Yet someone is making questionable decisions. For instance he had me checking my blood pressure morning and evening and taking an average. He prescribed my Losartan. My evening reading was 15-20 points higher than the morning reading. By accident I looked at the half life of Losartan and it is 4.6 hours. I took the medication in the morning so it is little wonder there was such a difference in morning and evening readings. I asked to be put on Telmisartan and now find out it has a 24 hour half-life. My morning and evening reading are now very close to the same. No doubt the longer half-life is the reason. I wasn't unresponsive at all. I think a cardiologist should know this stuff. Anyway, I gave blood yesterday. I have an open order for 2 years. By the way my hematocrit level was at 58.5 3 weeks ago, yesterday it was 55 before giving blood. [/QUOTE]
