Hey everyone, Thanks for the posts I have done an echocardiogram and have no valvular disease thank god . My heart has a normal ejection fraction . My mdma use was not spread over a long time . Basically it was 3 months of hardcore abuse with mdma crystals that ruined me. I have become a cardiophob due to thinking there is some damage to my heart but fibrosis would effect the pumping action of the heart so I think it would show on an echo an abnormality.
Very good I'm glad you're heart is okay, if you've had an echocardiogram and they've looked at your valves then there is no need to worry - what they often times won't reveal though is that the heart is not pumping efficiently just because the muscles are weak and atrophied. To strengthen your heart I recommend trying a mix of high intensity interval training and sustained cardio - both will strengthen your heart and help you lose weight.
I must stress again that it's my opinion that psychostimulants and the users abuse patterns typically atrophy the heart. But thankfully this is reversible as long as you eat some carbs and lots of protein and do cardio, I really recommend whey protein if you can afford it. If you are going to push yourself to work out I would want you to be able to maximize your gains. The other thing to consider is selective androgen receptor modulators - I will be trying one in a couple months and I can let you know how it goes, but I would first get your training and diet down.
I haven't had an echocardiogram but I do want one.. I think I'll pursue one someday, for now my issues are resolving with long term cardio (it can take a while to strengthen the cardiovascular system) so I don't think I'd want to know about my valves leaking and that sort of stuff and that giving me fear of exercising for some reason.
I think 5HTP could elevate peripheral serotonin levels and in a vulnerable individual long term high dose use might lead to issues in old age, but I think you could take 300mg a day for a couple years and probably be fine.
How is your sleep these days?
