ok before i started losing weight and smoking on ocassion when i would be sitting or rolling and i stood up i would get a serious head rush.

that went away as i started losing weight and quit smokin.

anyway, i started takin ephedrine like 4 days ago and just today after trainin semi hard in the mornin and training very hard in the afternoon i stood up and got a serious head rush almost dizzying.

could this be from the ephedrine? would it be a negative affect on my heart?

or is this just a coincidence?

anything else it could possibly be?

Could be seriously about a thousand things.

Dizziness is usually due to either low blood pressure or dehydration (which will also lower your BP coincidentally) so as much as ephedrine is speeding your heart rate somewhat, it will also dehydrate you like a bastard, thus lowering your BP and quite possibly making you dizzy.

how's your diet? are you eating enough?

i'm doin my best to eat enough, tho its a bit hard.

1) cause ephedrine kills the appetite
2) my $$$$$ = 0
3) time

I just do not want to develop heart problems, so i'm being really causious about the ephedrine

Sounds like dehydration ... ephedrine can do that to you :( How much are you taking?

i'm takin a 1/2 dose 12.5 mg and 200mg of caffeine along with 2100mg of CLA 100mg Vitamin C, 500mg Glucosamine, and a daily multi

12.5 mg/day isn't much, so unless you weren't eating much, it probably wasn't that. Caffiene is a diuretic too. E/C/A stacks have a pretty bad diuretic effect on me so I usually use Guggulbolic instead (it doesn't dehydrate me ... but normally I just use clenbuterol instead of supplements anyway though). You might wanna check it out if e/c/a stacks are messing u up: http://www13.netrition.com/syntrax_guggulbolic_page.html

and find me a magic pill so i can gain 7 lbs of muscle before march vulgar

i got no clue what the **** you just said aside form Ephedrine & Caffeine and A (what is A) makes you sweat alot and lose water.

whatever Guggulbolic and clenbuterol are I got no clue.



Curly - Creatine + protein + weights high weight low rep (do SLOW reps like 10 sec pos 6 sec neg. you will onyl be able to do like 1/2 the reps but from what i hear that **** shows results MAD fast) remember rest each muscle group like 48 hours after you work it

what about chest tightness?


when i breath deep i get a slight pain in my chest.

mabye i'm paranoid

Chest pains are really scary. If it continues i would check it out to be safe, i did...

BTW what happened with you?

what did the docs say?

The EKG and the echocardiogram came back normal,. but my blood results came back with something wrong. My platelets or whatever were low. The doc said its the stuff that makes your blood clot, and i got more blood taken on friday. I havent gotten the results back.

What have you been up to anyway man?

i've been trainin 6-9 hours a day over the break.

I'm lookin to get into fighting shape.

I started trainin the hardcore stuff with the pro's instead of just the postitioning and all.

I'm lookin to fight, get a deal with the team and be able to quit my job and train full time.

you?

This will probably be my last post in one of your threads, you'll probably be dead soon. Just ****ing with you fool. Like Tom says, if it continues see a doctor. You've lost 60 lbs. man, you don't need ephedrine, I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it can cause problems, and a strict diet and good workouts will help you lose the weight you need to lose. Good luck with fighting and trying to get on the team, it looks like you've come along way man, keep kicking ass.

I said that in another thread, a good strict diet, and a good workout plan is all you really need.

That's how life goes for most people. We treat the people we're the closest to like ****, 1, because we around them the most in alot of cases, 2, cause we know they'll forgive us most of the time. Not saying it's right, just human nature on some ****ed up level.

I didn't read the other responces, but I took Ephedrine for a while and I got the dizziness from it when it first took effect everytime.
