blood pressure and medication

[Gunsmith]

At what point would you or did you decide to start talking blood pressure medication.??
i ask because my pressure has been really consistent over the last several years being that I've only been on TRT (140mg a week) and 2iu HGH , its in the 120/65 range with heart rate in the 60's
now that I've recovered from a couple surgeries earlier this year and I can eat more I've been bumping up the intensity in the gym , brought my test dose up to 240mg a week and HGH to 5iu a day the pressure is in the 130/75 range with heart rate in the 70's
I was planning on bumping the test up to 400 a week and GH to 6-7iu a day but im sure that the pressure is gonna take another little jump.
NOW , I don't do any cardio right now (I know., I know) , don't take anything for pressure or cholesterol which is good but being 47 and planning to stay on at least the 230mg/wk test and 5iu HGH i was wondering if it might be time look at something like low dose Telmesatrin to keep blood pressure in check and it's other prophylactic cardiovascular benefits.

I had a great Indian Doctor. He told me after 135/85 for older patients to outweigh the side effects of most BP meds. I know most want 120/80 or under and they recently changed that standard. But it was 135/85 for older adults for many years. I keep mine 120/80 to 135/85 max. My morning reading is the highest. Take 3 times a day rested for at least 10 minutes for accuracy. Take the averages.

I’m 44 and my doctor is happy with my BP in the 130’s /80’s
I take quinapril 30mg per day

An ARB may work for you Gunsmith but it's not guaranteed. With BP meds you might need to trial several
before you discover one (or a combo) that works for you. Personally I've discovered Amlodipine works best with my biochemistry.
Why, I have no idea? 80mg Telmisartan didn't do much for me. 130's/70's-80's consistently is a good BP. Work with your PCP
and start off with a low dose ARB or ACE and go from there. Most physicians love patients that are proactive about their health.

I wouldn't take unless actually needed for hypertension (i.e. typically BP greater than 140/90 consistently). Consistently being the key word there because many people have higher blood pressures due to "white coat syndrome", caffeine, stress, etc. I always tell patients to take their blood pressure every day around the same time (preferably first thing in the morning) and keep a log say for 30 days. If on average it is greater than 140/90 then consider taking blood pressure medications. Hope that helps at all!

I think u will get more issues with the upping the gh more then the test. 5iu is a good amount of your still being safe with the aas. Start to implement some cardio and see how it looks then reconsider imo.
