I am 45 years old and have been weight training for many years. I have recently been told I have Left Ventricular Hypertophy, Low Ejection Fraction (35%) and Global Hypokinesis. I also have a history of High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol (LDL), High Triglycerides and Anxiety. I have been on various medications for many years to control these conditions. I am currently taking Atacand (for BP), Zetia (cholesterol) and Effexor (anxiety). My cardiologist has recently prescribed Coreg which I am now taking in addition to my other meds. My recent blood work also shows that have Epstein Barr Virus.
I have used many bodybuilding supplements including prohormones. I have used Pheraplex, Superdrol, Holodrol, and various forms of creatine and stimulants. I recently completed a cycle of Epistane and Trenadrol just before learning of my heart condition. I also take Multi Vitamins, Omega 3 and Hawthorn Berry. when I was in my 20's I frequently used Cocaine and Meth. I still use Cannabis regularly. I have been Coke and Meth free for around 15 years. I smoked cigarettes from my teens until my early 30's. I do not drink much alcohol although I have in the past. I know I must be crazy for using all these substances but I'm sure there are many supplement addicts like myself who have also used recreational drugs and tobacco. I am aware that these may have contributed to my condition.
My question is could any of my bodybuilding supplementation have caused my heart condition?
Will I ever be able to weight train again? What if I were to use low weights with high reps? What about cardio? I have not exercised at all since learning of my condition. But now I feel miserable and have always felt better when I workout regularly.
Are there any bodybuilding supplements I can still take? What supplements would be beneficial for my heart? What should I avoid using?
Is it possible that taking all these meds at once could have a negative effect? What about the side effects? Is it really necessary to take Atacand and Coreg together?
Any input would be appreciated. I am going to post the same questions on some other bodybuilding forums as well as a few medical forums.
Thanks.
