As growth hormone is naturally produced in the human body, the side
effects of
HGH treatment are rare. Generally, these side effects are
caused by taking higher-than-recommended doses of
HGH over
longer-than-recommended periods of time. However,
HGH has been known to
occasionally cause:
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is the opposite of
diabetes. In people with diabetes, their bodies do not produce an
adequate amount of insulin, leading to dangerously high glucose levels.
People with hypoglycemia have too much insulin, leading to too low
glucose levels. Because HGH increases the level of insulin in your
body, some people have suffered from hypoglycemia after taking HGH
drugs.
Acromeglia
Acromeglia is a disease that causes
abnormal bone growth. HGH cannot cause acromeglia, but it can speed up
the progression of the disease in people predisposed to it.
Extended Belly
When used as a bodybuilding drug,
HGH can cause a bodybuilder to have an extended belly if the drug is
not used as directed. However, this defect is rare in users who take
the drug as directed.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is
caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. It can lead to loss of hand
movement. HGH has been known to cause carpal tunnel syndrome in users
who do not take the drug as directed.
Joint Pain
Because of its ability to cause growth
in a person’s body, some users report joint pain while taking HGH. This
side effect is usually temporary.
