I recall seeing someone mention this previously, but can't think of who it was. I would like to know if anyone else experiences aggravated breathing issues when their estrogen rises?
Chest conjestion/excess mucus from elevated estrogen?

I feel winded. A bit of Adex and back to normal.
I never made the connection before, but I've been good all week until yesterday when I noticed my skin was very oily, and was sweating easily. Now today I can see some swelling around nipples so I will take something before bed. I always took my ai in the a.m., but that has lead to sleep disruption. I should have taken something last night, but I figured I was rebalancing from a bit of low E2 earlier in the week and did not want to mess shit up.
I only take an ai if I feel bloated, having a bit of trouble breathing or if my wiener isn’t working quite right.
That is why I use Adex. Works quickly.
I took 1.5mg of aromasin at noon on Wed (just checked my trt notebook). Anyhow, couldn't fall asleep, ended up taking a prescription sleep aid at 1:30. Was up at 7:30. The next night I was up until 2am before I resigned to take something to sleep. Also, up at 7:30 without issue. By 3pm it started catching up with me, but I've gotten so sensitive to Asin that I can't risk taking it during the day.
Aromasin does that to me as well, also I get horrible body aches from it the next day. Not sure why, even if I only use 6.25 mg and am high on estrogen.
Adex is a lot harder to use if you are trying to keep your estrogen balanced, becayse imo it’s in and out so fast, you’d have to shave the pills to take a minute amount each day.
So I say fuck that and take 1 mg whenever my estrogen gets high, then 10 days or so later, if I need to I do it again.
I’ve just got used to the estrogen cycling up and down. Less shitty feeling than taking Aromasin.
Thanks for adding that. I'm going to have to request a change and give it a try. Hoping to sooner than later get to a non-ai dependent dose for trt. Mental acuity and memory is most important to me, and of course libido. Glad to hear of someone else who is sensitive to this stuff. When I started trt at 125mg I only ever used 3.25 once a week, and not long ago when I was at 130 I was using 3.25 2-3 times/wk, but it's very easy to overdo it with an AI at a low dose, which is a lesson I learned the hard way, over and over and over.
I believe Aromasin is one of those compounds best used daily, but I'd have to be taking a lot of gear, and that's not going to do me any benefit these days.
Only time I have ever crashed my estrogen is on Aromasin.
It was horrible. And it doesn’t take much. I keep trying to see if I timed it better or what not, but every time unless my estrogen is really high, I end up feeling like shit the next day.
I'm going to get some adex. Thanks again.
My first tell tale sign of high E2 (besides my gyno flaring up) is sore joints
Anyone else notice that... that as well as my erectile function. Lol
I never noticed. If anything my shoulders are worse as my E2 drops. Libido is all over the map, lol. Thank god for proviron and viagra/cialis.
Yes when I crash my E2 the joints get even worse... but only when I completely crash it. (Done it a few times in hopes of reversing my gyno)
I Don't know why I get achy joints when it goes up too high... but it always coincides with my gyno flareups
I find adding masterone to any cycle has helped greatly with my E2/libido issues
But ya, chest congestion that is something I never had from E2 ... only way I get that, is when giving an injection and I hit a blood vessel and keep injecting...lol
Sorbate mentioned Mast as well, but I'm leery about dht. I will use proviron to boost libido, but similar to viagra, single use only. I won't run it any more. I'm concerned mast will have the same effect, that is, spike my E2 by quickly lowering my shbg. I might try 20mg/wk. I'll give it some thought.
Yeah I've noticed the opposite lol... low E2 = sore creaky joints.
My joint actually feel better. But normal I’m a fairly dryish person. I drink at least a gallon a day, but don’t really hold a lot of water. I’ve never gotten moon face.
Yes when it gets really low, my joints are really bad...
But when it gets to high they do also.... maybe because the water retention allows me to push my joints harder in the gym.. then they get sore... not sure exactly.. just know how I feel lol
Interesting topic. I've never made this connection, I'll try to pay attention from now on. I always thought the windage was due to other causes. If its E related and easily managed with Adex this would be an interesting development
Mast is liquid gold. I use it for libido and bro-science E management. What it does to my libido is unreal. My hair has already gone past the point of no return so no risk there for me.
For liberals they have this thing called gender reassignment. It involves a lot more E.

Generally liberals have elevated estrogen that cannot even be treated with AI
I think you are screwed!
Jk

There is more literature out there on the role and influence of sex hormones on the pulmonary system. It should be no surprise that hormones play a critical role in. In conversation with my pharmacist he made a comment to the effect, what isn't affected by the endocrine system?
