My workout partner is going through a bulk and has run into an interesting problem. And remember NO stimulants of any kind are being consumed.
We normally don't do cardio on machines for conditioning we go Tabata and metabolic complexes. We were both exhausted so decided to hit the treadmill. Grabbing the heart sensors on the treadmill mine measured 80, his was 130. and we haven't started walking over 1MPH. Thinking it was a bad reading he went to the doctor. the ECG also gave almost 100 BPM RHR. The doctor wasn't that concered he said some people have higher heart rates than others. That sounds to me like he had no clue why. Not trusting his doctor he got a referral for a cardiologist, which will take a couple months.
36 years old. He is on Test and HGH, not sure of the dosage but he normally uses sane amounts. Thats it. No other supplements or drugs. Thyroid blood work came back normal range.
Blood pressure is within normal ranges. He has an appointment with a cardiologist in several months but his wife and I are both concerned and don't want him to push hard in the gym until he gets an answer. He says he feels fine and not any more winded than before.
Any idea is test or HGH will cause a large raise in Heart Rate? Or any idea what to ask the doctor to check? Last thing I want is for him to drop of a heart attack mid set.
