You've been using oral steroids, which begin to mimic testosterone in your body—boosting your strength, accelerating protein synthesis, and rapidly increasing muscle growth. But as time goes on, the chemical modifications that allow the drug to survive liver metabolism begin to take a toll. Liver toxicity increases, enzyme levels rise, and signs of fatty liver and potential tumors begin to appear. Your blood pressure climbs, cholesterol levels become unstable, and arterial plaque starts to build up. Your heart muscle thickens, reducing its ability to pump blood efficiently. You’re now starting to notice mood swings, heightened irritability, and episodes of aggression—commonly known as "roid rage." #health #steroidsideeffects #bodybuilding #weightlifting
