Few questions about T

[Selim11]

Hello, everybody! I have a few questions about T and I can't get in touch with my doctor, could you please be kind and help me out? Some of it might be really silly, I apologize.
1.I take my T-shots every. saturday, from what I know. Is it a low dosage?
2.Last week I had it on sunday, after the shot, I felt like I couldn't breathe, I have to admit, it had been a very stressful week for me and my muscles were really tense, do you think this caused it, or do I have to stop the treatment? I have heard about the heart risks, but I never had problems with the shots before and I do not have a heart disease..
3. Do I really have to do the shot in my leg, or could it be any other muscle?
I am sorry if these questions are really stupid, I can't really talk to my doctor. I'm almost 3 months on T, I tried to search for answers on the internet, but I didn't find anything relevant, perhaps I don't know what to search for.



No dosages please

1. Your dosage should be determined by your doctor based on your blood test results.
2. Was it immediately after the shot? That could due to that you were too nervous when you were injecting. You will need to discuss this condition with your doctor as soon as you can.
3. Your legs are usually the most convenient sites for self-injection, but you can also inject in other large muscles such as your gluteal muscles. Here is a link for some guidelines: http://www.bd.com/hypodermic/pdf/Intramuscular_Injection_Guidelines.pdf
Not sure why you can not talk to your doctor, but I think it is important to have a care provider and you can trust to discuss your concerns with.

I agree you need to talk to a doctor given especially your having physical complications

I agree with what has been said - particularly seeing your doctor with these questions. 

I would only add that, regarding your shortness of breath right after the shot, it's not uncommon to experience that symptom if you've injected too quickly.  Try injecting more slowly next time.  I would also consider injecting into your butt muscle instead of your leg.
