Hi I'm Very Surprised What Happened Yesterday With My Blood
Question: Hi I'm very surprised what happened yesterday with my blood pressure. So I had one doctor suggesting hgh genotropin which I bought in pharmacy I had skin problems and hgh definitely help with that. I used it successfully this year spring for 1. 5 months 2iu per day. Also this year July 1 month. I felt very good like 15 years ago mood was good loosing fat skin was good. Yesterday I started again hgh genotropin 2iu I injected 3h after eating 10pm after around 10 minutes I felt initially good I had strong libido and erection but few minutes and then dropped libido and I felt heart start beating I couldn't believe it I kept sleeping but impossible I measured and it was 160/99 this continued 4h finally I decided take one aspirine and put feet in hot water slowly it dropped to 138/82 I fall asleep but after few hours it came back again I again put in hot water feet BP dropped to 134/80 8am I waked up BP was around 140/85 I felt heart beating strongly. I went for swim in cool water for 10 minutes seems that helped it dropped to 134-124/80 more or less OK now. I understand hgh is little bit contraversioal but from medical point I really don't understand what happened its just doesn't make any sense first why so quick reaction first strong libdo boost then high pressure I research online a lot and such dosage I couldn't find any report for such intensive blood pressure spikes. Such dosage should put my hgh level maybe little bit above normal or same like when I was in early 20 ies. I see reports from people who use and saying opposite that it actually decrease BP. Only explanation I have is adrenal cortex supplement I take but it was in morning only one tablet. I injected in abdominal fat I didn't see any blood at that moment, I had injected in muscle before and then got little bit in artery then was slightly increased BP but nothing to complain about. I'm just extremely curious what happened how is this possible? P. S I didn't took any supplements yesterday also I was to cardiologist they echocardiogram ultrasound plus stress test they saw in computer everything how heart working they said all fine. My only explanation something wrong with my adrenals but how hgh can affect it and what process happened why started this crazy BP spike all night, I was really scared also I had hot flashes hot and cold non stop.

Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello !
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would agree with you on the fact that this is not a common adverse effect of hcg gonadotropin.
In fact, I think that this is a panic attack, considering the increased heart rate in the beginning. I understand that there was no reason for a panic attack, but sometimes they just occur, without any obvious cause.
Anyway, I recommend checking your blood pressure values during the next week, frequently during the day, in sitting position after 10 minutes of total relax and take note of these values.
If your blood pressure values are most of the time within the normal ranges, there is nothing to worry about.
Otherwise, if your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges, I would recommend consulting again with your doctor and doing some tests:
- complete blood count, PCR for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- kidney and liver function tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Hi I hope you understand right it was Hgh not hcg, can ir be that panic attack only symptoms is high blood pressure, because in that moment simply heart rate start increasing and BP goes up. I don't have other panic attack symptoms like intense fear etc. Maybe something with adrenals for example Aldosterone this is many times cause, but then BP would be increased regularly I think?

My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello again !
I meant hgh, but it just a writing error.
High Aldosterone causes persistent high blood pressure values.
Usually such spikes in high blood pressure values are related to adrenaline and noradrenaline loads.
If this situation repeats, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels and checking urinary metanephrines for pheochromocytoma.
If your blood pressure values remain persistently high further tests may be needed:
- kidney and liver function tests
- kidney and liver function tests
- complete blood count, PCR and ESR for inflammation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Please let me know in case of further uncertainties!

I think most obvious would be yes that tumor, one more thing I think the bigger chance that these blood pressure spikes will happen is if I took some stimulants I took coffee sometimes - 2 teaspoons, modafinil (max 200mg)many times these doses are completely ok I have normal blood pressure up to 130/80 for years I took these not always periodically for few weeks on and off and never had any noticable spike maybe XXXXXXX 150 but then I really took too much modafinil 400mg but it was one time only so in past my blood pressure was very resitant to any dosage almost now its completely opposite....
but yesterday again had quick spike to 168/102 some deep breath and it went away, for years i never had such problems but last time Im more sensitive to any stimulants and dosage which year ago would never make any problem now this time can easy make a spike. This what worry me. This also could be one more reason for that adrenal tumor. Does it make sense that stimulants could provoke faster blood pressure spike if have this tumor condition?

Brief Answer:
My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Yes, an adrenal gland tumor could mimic this situation.
For this reason, I recommend checking urinary metanephrines.
It is also necessary checking thyroid hormone levels, because thyroid gland dysfunction can lead to this clinical situation.
But, if these tests result normal, you should consider the possible beginning of high blood pressure, as your body is not the same as before, (maybe blood vessels are not so elastic as before ).
Hope you will find this information helpful!
