HGH HEADACHES?

[lucky1]

Anyone else get bad headaches/ migraines from gh? I have been getting headaches on and off this whole cycle of gh and didn't think anything of it or know where it was coming from. I talked to a buddy of mine who got the same reaction to gh.

Are you monitoring blood pressure? How many IU's are you doing?

Have never heard of that side effect before. Like what abs said, have you tracked your bp and are your dosages?

I found this on a number of different sites. Never knew this.

It appears that treatment with growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor I can lead to the development of benign intracranial hypertension. The fact that reports of this association began to appear only in 1986 may be due to the trend toward the use of higher and more frequent doses of growth hormone that followed the introduction of recombinant growth hormone in 1985. Obesity, renal failure, and other metabolic and endocrine disorders may themselves increase the risk of benign intracranial hypertension,1-4 and the presence of these conditions in some of the patients may have predisposed them to this complication. Although the magnitude of risk is not known, the cases described here emphasize the importance of ophthalmologic examinations during the initial months of therapy for patients receiving growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor I, particularly if they report headaches or visual changes.

Water retention leads to weight gain, increase in blood pressure and usually apnea. Been snoring? Thick blood?

Eat less sodium and carbs and take a baby aspirin every day.

More info:

Pseudotumor Cerebri (also known as Benign Intracranial Hypertension ) literally means "false brain tumor." It is likely due to high pressure caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain.

The blurred vision is usually as a result of Papilledema. This is where the increased pressure in the brain (as mentioned above) causes the optic nerve to swell where it enters the eye. This is usually detected by fundoscopy (looking into the eye with an opthalmoscope).

Are you sure you're taking HGH and not something else?

 

[abs32]

Back down your dose for a few days and get a serum test done to see if your gh is actual gh.

Best advice is baby aspirin, monitor blood pressure, and watch your diet.

I wont say what brand but its from a well known trusted source.... I dont think that has anything to do with it apparently it is a rare symptom of hgh.

 

[daywalker89]

No kidding - never heard of that being a common side effct

 

[lucky1]

Ive read about 20 different articles on this and it seems that the vision problems/ headaches that are associated with gh are very rare and discontinue after use.

You still haven't said if you tested your BP?

 

[abs32]

Still curious as to your dosage as well..

I experienced similar side effects after taking the "questionable" blue tops a few years ago.

Im going in for blood tests this week to evaluate everything.

I've never experienced or heard of that side effect with GH. Bloodwork would be a good next step. Pericardial effusion always comes to mind when I think GH and blood pressure. Any dyspnea or palpitations?

This is a rare side effect but I was able to dig up some evidence on it to see. I had a friend who had the same side effects with the headaches on hgh...he had blood work and no issues. Im going in for bloods soon check everything out.

Keep us posted, I'm pretty intrigued by what is causing it.

No probs with gh, but clen is another story.
