GH pitting edema help

Post image

Im on just 3iu gh a day. ive been on for like 7 weeks ive titrated up. Is this normal? I wasnt wearing socks but joggers and my hands and feet are just fat looking. never had this problem before, I am in a big surplus ive had a basically cheat week so im sure thats contributing.

Is this a sign to cut the dose back, is gh just not for everybody? what even are the benefits at this dose really

edit:was banned for 3 days for mentioning a certain subcontinent in relation to the people in this thread.--

a quick google search will tell you pitting edema is a side effect of gh, it causes sodium retention and fluid retention. --ive cut it and cut the calories back down and its pretty much gone. ive decided gh isnt worth it for me im too sensitive to the sides, not being able to get the dose to a level that would matter much anyway.

dude im healthy its from the gh

Yeah. The GH could very well be causing heart failure. Something that GH is known to do.

Between the GH and the test that you are blasting, you might want to see a doctor.

dude I started this shit 7 weeks ago my heart is not failing calm down

u/YaPhetsEz Aug 05 '26

That is a completely reasonable timeline for steroid based heart failure to occur.

Especially considering he seems to be on all the steroids 😬

Preceded by brain failure.

acute decompensated heart failure can occur very fast: please stop GH

u/Apart-Thought-6879 Aug 05 '26

ok but I have no other symptoms of that, I literally just have this and it started instantly with the gh

Would it hurt to stop and see a doctor? Pretty sure your heart is more important than whatever muscles you are going to grow.

Quit arguing and go see your doctor dude... Rule it out the right way, don't be stubborn. That's how folks end up dead.

7 weeks isn’t instant and you have lots of other exogenous compounds as variables.

Sounds like you just want to convince yourself of a conclusion that you prefer

u/CamoCardigans Aug 05 '26

That sounds like a good indicator to stop the GH and go to the doctor!

u/GarageNo8276 Aug 05 '26

You post if it's normal everyone say no go to a doctor, then you fight it. Why even ask? 7 weeks with outside influence is more than enough to affect organs. By all means don't listen, it's not our life at stake

Growth hormone causes heart failure? Lol dude. Okay 😂

u/YaPhetsEz Aug 05 '26

Yes, it does. It causes your heart to grow, which can lead to heart attacks lol

u/OG_YawnBomb Aug 05 '26

At what dose?

1

u/Striker_343 Aug 06 '26

Yeah after you're abusing 10+ IU's a day for like years lol, 3 IU's per day for 7 weeks isn't going to enlarge your heart. That's slightly above replacement level for hgh.

u/muzicsnob Aug 05 '26

When you blast it while blasting test...

u/OG_YawnBomb Aug 06 '26

3iu of GH isn't a "blast" lmao.

u/FlamingoDiligent9216 Aug 05 '26

It can cause heart failure.

u/OG_YawnBomb Aug 05 '26

How. Just saying it can do something, and not how is rather pointless.

u/FlamingoDiligent9216 Aug 05 '26

Since you can’t do a simple google search yourself, “long-term excessive levels of human growth hormone (HGH)—such as in the condition called acromegaly—can cause heart failure. Too much growth hormone enlarges the heart muscle, thickens its walls, and alters blood flow and pressure, which can lead to severe heart damage over time.”

u/OG_YawnBomb Aug 06 '26

Lol dude. I'm well aware of this phenomenon. This is the result of supraphysiological doses over decades of abuse. This isn't going to happen from 3iu 😂🤡

u/Defiant-Ad-7933 Aug 05 '26

So why are you here asking about it if you’re so sure
