POME Pulmonary Oil Microembolism
Defined:
Pulmonary oil micro-embolism (POME) syndrome: a review and summary of a large case series
The use of steroid compounds formulated in oil for depot injection can be associated with acute pulmonary reactions characterized primarily by cough, but sometimes with other associated symptoms. The pathophysiology of these reactions remains unclear, although they are reported in the literature...

I injected 3ml Test D into dorsogluteal
Then 1ml Deca left Quad, 1ml Tren E right Quad. No adverse effect.
10 minutes later I had a small POME.
Slight breathing issues, increased with exertion.
Lasted 35 minutes but followed 1 hour later with Injection/Test Flu
Cold chills.
Put on snowsuit, mixed up some electrolytes. Took baby aspirin, fishoils, Sat on the couch and sipped and rode the wave for 45 minutes until I felt warm. Drenched in sweat, slight headache. All good.
Occurrence: rarely, this is like the 3rd time over 5 years.
Possible reason. I use 1" needle. I'm lean. I also have small air to push out residual to lessen chance of oil entering vein during removal, if I went through a vein. I also winder with shorter needle closer to level of veins, if bleed over can occur as it spreads.
Could have been Quad injection. Never know.
Though I don't have data, I would think larger yield of injected oil to exasperate and lead to more chance of POME.
Some of us have had them. Maybe you didn't know what was going on.
It is not the same as Tren Cough. Tren cough is more short lived and sometimes more violent.
However with physical exertion, which increases respiratory demand, POME can cause a similar feeling and make you cough.
POME will last longer.
"The patient’s work of breathing was normal when stationary, but he rapidly became tachypneic on exertion."
Several case reports have described acute lung injury and respiratory distress following the intravascular injection of oil. Although biochemical and mechanical theories explaining the pathological mechanism of pulmonary oil embolism have been ...

If I happens again, I'm just going to chalk it up as a sign, and drop down to 900mg Test and move on with my life.
