(i have a heart condition) but I was planning to take this in moderate dosages and not abuse it so I think it should be fine. I just wanted other peoples opinions on how ephedrine has worked or didnt work for them

thanks in advance.

What are the risks to taking an EC Stack

Ephedrine can increase your blood pressure significantly. If you already have prehypertension or hypertension, this will increase your risk for stroke and heart attack.
Ephedrine can lower blood potassium levels putting you at risk for heart palpitations if your potassium intake is low.
Ephedrine can enhance psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety.
Ephedrine increases your body temperature and can put you at greater risk of heat stroke.
Ephedrine AND caffeine are vasoconstrictors. Because of this they increase risk in those who are already at risk for stroke and heart attack.

Do not use if you have been diagnosed with any of the following

high blood pressure, hypertension or prehypertension
diabetes or prediabetes
anxiety disorders, especially if you are on an SSRI, SNRI or MAOI
any cardiovascular disease, angina, coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease
hyperthyroidism
heart palpitations or heart defects, tachyarrhythmias
kidney problems, impaired adrenal function, hypoxia, hypercapnia, acidosis
closed angle glaucoma, phaeochromocytoma, asymmetric septal hypertrophy (idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis), or ventricular fibrillation.
