First off let me preface this by saying that I am not sure I have low E2, but I suspect I do. Let me also say that I also realize that the only way I can know for sure is by getting it tested. My schedule is pretty packed and it's very hard to get myself to a lab right now, but I will try. However, these symptoms I have been feeling since I took .75mg of Anastrozole in a span of 5 days are very similar to what I experience with high E2. Some are unique though and they are just strange for me at least. I have not taken another dosage since last Monday and today is Sunday. I was hoping that my levels would have come back by now, but I'm still feeling symptomatic. Here are the symptoms I have felt since last Monday:
The most strange symptom which I have never experienced is the lack of sweat during exercise. I usually drop buckets of sweat when I workout. I would call myself a hyper sweater. I sweat no matter what I do in the gym. My shirt is typically drenched when I combine weight training and cardio into the same session. Today I did just that, but barely broke a sweat. It was the first time in my life that I barely broke a sweat even as I increased my intensity again and again. It's a side effect I normally wouldn't mind since I do sweat a lot and live in an extremely hot, humid state, however I love sweating a lot in the gym after a hard weight/cardio session. It's kind of like a badge of honor. It's not a huge deal, but it's definitely something that has never happened to me before. Is this a symptoms low E2. I will say that with high E2 I noticed that I sweat tons even with little effort. My normal is somewhere in between. I just wanted to know if this and my other symptoms point to low E2. No matter what they all suck. I can't wait till my hormones come back into balance because it doesn't matter if it's low or high E2, they both stink. I am convinced that I will feel the full benefits of TRT once I can get my E2 in a perfect spot. I am sure I've been running high E2 for years which is why I've had little to no libido. I'm hopeful and will try to stay patient as things balance out.
