Not a clue. Some suffer from high BP while on AAS,,,never heard of low BP problems.

The difference between the systolic and the diastolic is called your pulse pressure, and is normally 40. If it is consistently higher, it could be the sign of stiffness of the aorta or a problem with you aortic valve.

thanks for the replies, but i had a stress test resently and the doc said keep doing what you are doing your in great shape and health once i go off the aas it goes back to normal thanks

If it goes back to normal off cycle you should be okay.I take 20mg a day of lisinopril but high blood pressure runs in my family anyway.

Regardless if on cycle or not, my bp is always around 130/65, my doc says that is weird, but as long as my bottom number stays low, hes not too worried about it.
