If you get mild lip swelling and facial swelling and mild breathlessness on test e does that mean you're allergic to the carrier oil and need to switch to cyp?
AlphaMD's Answer
These are worrisome symptoms, and consistent with an allergic reaction. Any airway compromise (lip/tongue swelling, trouble breathing) means you should stop the offending agent immediately and follow up with your doctor.
You really can’t be allergic to testosterone since it is chemically identical to the testosterone you had running through your veins before starting TRT. Nearly all allergic reactions to TRT are due to the carrier oil.
