Hot Flashes and face flushing...need advice.

[ChaseHagler]

Alright so i know the only true way to tell is to get bloods…which i will be getting early next week. Until then though…Im 4 weeks into a Test C @400 pw on Tuesdays and Fridays. I didnt start taking my Aromasin until last week because i had felt good and really only noticed a little bloat. i took 12.5 mg on the last 3 pin days. Now for the last 3 days ive been having hot flashes, facial flushing, ears getting hot…and constant headaches. Yesterday i woke up feeling great but by the end of the night i felt shitty again. Im tryin to figure out if my E2 is too low or too high. ive read so much info and i am just trying to figure out how to dose my ai until i get bloods and get back to feeling good. Thanks

I don’t know what you should do exactly. However, don’t do anything drastic, like take 50mg Asin or something “just in case”. You are not on that high of a dose really (wait is it 800/wk?) and nothing extreme will happen to you while you wait for bloods.

If you’re on 800 a week you should be taking 12.5mg on pin days at least.

Have you switched anything else up like a new pre-workout drink? Same thing happens to me if I have anything with beta alanine.

Im just on 400 a week. Ive got 12.5 mg capsules of aromasin. Im trying to figure out out if my e2 is too low or too high. Its hard to tell because the symptoms are basically the same. Hot flashes, flushed face and ears and headaches…especiall towards the end of days. Ive recently split the capsules into 2 capsules as best as i could by eyeballing it.

I havent changed anything at all. I dont even do preworkout. Ive only used bcaas and protein powder from the rip.

How do your joints feel? Achy joints are a sign of E2 being too low. I was taking 12.5 mg Aromasin ED and noticed my joints aching like hell. Now I take 12.5 mg EOD and I feel much better.

Personally when my E2 is low the glans of my penis gets dry or drier feeling. Not sure how much you pay attention to that particular fact, but that’s just one way I can usually tell low from high. I can get acne from low or high but high I’m usually greasier as well. But I’ve been greasy when I’m lower, too. E2 is such a bitch to figure out. Joints definitely ache like hell with low/crashing E2. Been low/slightly crashing on E2 Fri-Sun just now starting to feel 32 instead of 52 this afternoon.

I sometimes get the flushed red face and ears for some reason when I’m omw back to work after lunch. For some reason it seems to get better after giving blood so I take it to be related to hct but my hct isn’t usually really high so just guessing. Also usually relieves some minor headaches that start up when I feel I need to give blood.

Was gonna say the same thing. I get those same issues(red face, facial pressure, headaches) when my BP is spiked from orals. If you’re getting nose bleeds too that’s a giveaway as well.

I havent had any problems with acne although i do notice my skin just being quite a more oily. I dont have any joint aching at all. I will say that i feel like maybe my blood pressure could be up…although ive never had issues with my blood pressure before and im not taking anything besides the test and aromasin.
Im going to try lowering the aromasin to 6.25 maybe eod until i get bloods

How much test are you taking while taking aromasin at 12.5 eod

 

[Akula]

Every time i take a new aas i get the same. When i first started trt i got the same. For me it passes after a week or 2.

600 mg/week

 

[Oldmantrt2]

Low E2. Look up menopause symptoms for females. Same thing when men have estrogen withdraw. Lower your AI dose.

 

[RememberThePassword]

I get the same thing. It’s probably BP. Aromasin can cause your BP to spike.

ive been on cyle for almost 5 weeks. i didnt start my ai until last week because i noticed some water retention. i started feeling this way a few days after taking only 6.25 mg of aromasin. The aromasin i have is in 12.5 caps so its already pretty hard to split them into 2 caps. Im only on 400 test a week so is it possible that i might not even need an ai? Im going to try taking 6.25 mg aromasin ever 3.5 days. Surely that wont be cause my E2 to be too low. Thanks

Im starting to think the same thing. But would that cause flushed face and like tingling ears. I know it will cause headaches. Today was better though so we’ll see what happens

i just looked up Aromasin side affects and it pretty much was spot on. I wonder if these side affects start to wear off as you continue taking it.

 

[Oldmantrt2]

I dont know. I was having the same sides, red face and neck, hot ears, headaches. Same as you, felt good morning and day, bad at night. Got labs, estrogen was 8. I make a thread about it.
