I've now been taking for a week: progynova, androcur, and avodart. I've also been recovering from a nasty virus, and been "overextending myself" a little on the energy front. The last few days, I've had something sometimes that's hard to describe accurately, but it's like my heart feels too big, and my heartbeat I can feel very strongly, and it's a bit bumpy and out of time for a few moments.

I've experienced something a bit like this once before when I had a virus (because they can affect heart muscles), and I'm going to the doc this week just to get checked up - but I just wondered whether anyone else has had something like this when first going on the above medications? I know my body's still adjusting to to the New Order (my horniness has been extreme, probably because my body's making extra T in retaliation) so it may be that, or just not being very well yet, or a reaction to one of the meds.

You might want ask your doc to run an ECG: An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of your heart. An EKG translates the heart's electrical activity into line tracings on paper. The spikes and dips in the line tracings are called waves.

Before you will go into stress for your heartbeat, a lot of people do have it, most of the times it's quite innocent.
You may go to your doctor to check your heartrythm.
In most occasions it's called sinusarithmya, the source can be an infection, medication, stress lack or too much of electrolyts and it happends to normal healthy people too.
To make sure it's not harmfull let check your heartrythm and a bloodtest.
Don't go into stress, it will makes it worse.
When people feel their heartbeat, they are starting to worry, that's quite normal.
A lot of people with a heartdisease don't feel their heartbeat but they are striked suddenly without any warning.
Btw, I am a teacher for ICU nurses', to learn them how to determinate ECG's.

Thanks, I'm not really stressed about it, I'd just like to find out what's causing it. One possible cause may just be the extra T my body is making at the moment. I'll get checked out tomorrow.
