Too much red blood cells polycycemia

What are the causes of makiong too much red blood cells, it seems everytime I go on a cycle my hematcrit goes up to around a 57 to 60 and I get shortness of breath and stuff like that. Is this normal? Do I just need to get blood drawn or do i need to get off the cycle.

Hematorcrit basically means "blood thickness". Certain AS will cause this to rise. A substance that causes an increase production in RBC's will cause polycythemia such as test, eq, ect.....................it can also lead to a dramatic change in blood pressure and vacular resistance in your cardiovascular system.

IMO that is to high a concentration of rbc's you may want to not use anadrol or EQ, as these two drugs have the greateest effect on rbc production. You also want to make sure that you drink 6liters of water each day and pop an asprin every night to protect from clot formation.

I am only a test cycle nothing else, going to a hematologist next week to get some blood drawn. Thanks for the input and info. I will begin taking an aspirin.

Completely agreed - you run a very great risk of a stroke with a hematocrit that high. Aspirin is mandatory IMO to prevent this. Water intake is crucial just like Lifts said. Your blood is thick as maple syrup.

In addition I just found out that my triglyceride levels were in the high 600's and the doctor wants to place me on some medication. Not sure what yet. I have an appointment with her tomorrow. Can the juice cause this as well? What can I do to get them lower, i never had this issue before. I also take high amounts on Hydrocodone due to having a broken neck back in the late 70's, it causes and severe pain and I take 5 to 7 10/325 pd.

Oral steroids and AI's can screw up the lipids.

sorry but what is AI's? If I get off the juice and just go back to my gel, will everything pretty much go back to normal?

AI=Aromatase Inhibitor With triglcerides as high as yours imo you need medical follow up and intervention for mts probably.
