It is more detrimental to stop steroids and hGH suddenly, then to continue them. Monitor your symptoms and if you develop difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion or lethargy, contact your Dr immediately.

I recommend consulting with your medical provider. Let your doctor know about your COVID 19 symptoms as be scrupulously honest about both your steroid use and Hgh use. Your doctor can help to sort this out.

Which steroid did you take and at what dose. How much HGH did you take. There may need to be a taper off of these medications. Don't do it your self, See a doctor
