Look for fatty tissue developing under your arms and connecting to the side of your pec. Also, take into account any fat you had there before. It could just be feeding your paranoia.
Stand up straight and look in the mirror. That's a good indication. If they look like a 13 year old's (god forgive me for using that example) chest, then it's possible it's gyno. Some people get puffy lips etc... from gyno too.
EDIT: Mr telogen could probably give you a better answer
good luck

Tighten your pecs and look at them in the mirror. When they're tight, try to grab them. How do they feel? They should be firm if it's muscle. Like I said, it may be confusing if you had fat there previously...Usually man boobies hang down and nipples are puffy.

Yeah dude, this is totally normal... there is a fat layer surrounding all muscles. Also, if you are working out hard and getting yourself pretty sore, you wont be able to flex your muscles as hard during that time period. Once they have fully recovered try flexing and see if the as much spongy "stuff".
araporn – gyno *can* occur due to elevated estrogen levels over a prolonged period. So I really can’t see gyno appearing after a week. Also tissue just couldn’t appear that quick.
The first few months are definitely a difficult time. Be sure it’s gyno before you stop Finasteride.
In my case I’ve been on finasteride. for 10 months. I can handle increased chest tissue, as I value my hair more. I know, as I’ve proved to myself, if I stop taking the drug the problem goes away.
BTW If anyone is considering starting Finasteride, don’t let this post put you off. Finasteride stops hairloss.

Working out and gyno
I'm standing at the end of the diving board, ready to dive into the propecia pool. Got my first bottle of propecia this week and I'm just about ready to take that plunge. However, If I start a weight lifting routine, how will I know if I'm getting gyno??? My chest will be sore all the time anyway from the bodybuilding. Damn I wish there was better evidence for topical dht inhibitors!!
