Tachycardia: Would check thyroid status ( especially T4 if supplemented ) and EKG.Some individuals have baseline tachycardia . Was it there before use of growth hormone? As GH is associated with cardiac effect and tachycardia and cardiac hypertrophy/ myopathy . Would follow up with cardiology consult and get baseline echocardiogram .
