[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 232461, member: 42264"] [USER=41463]@ZALEMAX[/USER], sorry to hear you’re struggling a bit. I don’t know if my feedback will be helpful, but I will offer whatever thoughts I have. I see your estradiol is pretty high for someone on Natesto. When is the last time you used any exogenous testosterone besides Natesto? In the past, I used Natesto on a regular basis and don’t recall feeling any heart pounding. BUT, more recently, I have used Natesto a little here and there between trialing other protocols. In these circumstance, I actually have noticed periods when my heart feels like it is pounding harder than it should. There are a few explanations for this. First, it is possible that this happened in the past, but I never noticed it. Second, it is possible that it happened in the beginning, but I acclimated to it. Third, it is possible that the heart pounding is from supraphysiologic levels of T (doubtful). Fourth, it is possible that it is from dropping T levels, after having been elevated. Last, it is possible it is unrelated and/or from some other reason (I’d rank this first). I personally noticed some very surprising side effects from Coq10. I realized that on days I took it, I had periods of lots of energy and mental clarity, but later in the day, I got crazy anxiety, maybe with heart pounding. I noticed this even with 100-200mg dose ranges, and I am very confident that it was the Coq10 causing it. As a little experiment, you might consider stopping Coq10 for a week or so, keeping everything else the same and watching what happens. So, have you been on just Natesto from May to present, continuously? Is it possible you are taking one of your other supplements around the same time you are using Natesto, which could cause the GI symptoms? Magnesium can cause upset stomach. Not sure about Omega. Lastly, you might consider getting levels drawn within an hour of your Natesto dose. That should give a better reflection of how high your levels are at their max. Ultimately, it may be the Natesto causing all that you are describing, but I am not quite there at this point. [/QUOTE]
