Anyone have high BP on cycles

[BB4LIFE]

I've been going to the doctor once a month and monitoring my BP ever since i've been on my cycles. My BP has been quite high for a while yesterday was 180 over 47. Other times on average is 150 over 80 or so... Anyone else have this problem and is there anything they do to combat it? I would hate to get on any BP medicine just for the fact i don't need anything else on my liver... Ha!

is that right? 180/47?? that doesn't sound right at all.... anyway, i usually get high bp on cycle and off (i'm predisposed to hypertension)... i never used any bp meds... just cardio, clean up the diet, watch the sodium, drink 1-2 gallons of water, and take in a garlic extract supplement. that usually takes my bp down to 120/80 or so... i stopped the cardio and garlic extract a couple of weeks back, and now it's around 145/85... so i guess they work...

That first # is pretty weird but def too high. You need to get that under control. High BP is a big risk including kidney damage, cardiovascular damage, stroke, etc. There is a reason they call it the silent killer. I have to watch mine too. There are tons of BP meds avaiable depending on which works best for you. I would at least try some cardio and diet modifications first.

On that first number did they recheck it? Last time I went in my BP was 160/something... then he rechecked using the large BP cuff about 15 minutes later and it returned to my normal-yet-high 140/90.

Anadrol made my rate and pressure go thru the roof!!!!!

No they never rechecked it... It was just an ER visit for some back pain. So they figured i was just wanting some pills, so they didn't pay much attention to me. Not going to lie and say that i didn't but heck i'm a bodybuilder name one bodybuilder that doesn't use pain relievers HA! I normally have normal BP but on my cycles it goes out of wack and i just don't want to take any more meds if need not be... I do use garlic and all that natural stuff going to add some hawthorn and other stuff to try and control it first

Cardio brings down my blood pressure when I'm on cycle. But if it didn't I wouldn't have any hesitation about taking blood pressure medication. It is better to take it than to risk bodily damage from high blood pressure.

Vitamin C at 3-4 grams a day (not all at once ,spread out over the day)combined with 5 litres of water helps combat the fluid retention that increases blood pressure

Yeah i've heard of it before. Especially when using Clen.
