For the guys with High BP on cycle

[Doberman77]

How long does it take to get your blood pressure down to normal when you come off or cruise? and what strategys if any do you use to help you get your BP down?

Iv'e been cruising at 250mg of Test-E per week for the last 8 weeks and since then I have upped cardio and GPP and even lost 20lbs of water and lard but my BP is still really high at 160/88

Cut out salt, caffeine (all stims) and alcohol. If you're not using any of these heavily, you may be in need of medication. I recommend Toprol. I've been on it for 4 years now - good stuff.

Hmmmm

How long have you been off? My bp peaked out at 142/80 on Tuesday (up from 128/80 in january). Typcially mine comes down once the last dosage starts to leave the system entirely (usually 3-4 weeks later). Obvioulsy this depends on the oil....Dbol is especially hard on me and mine goes up and down with each tablet!

Ramipril

Has anyone used long acting esters the way Emeric suggested?
50mg ED instead of 250mg E5D? (or 50mg E2D instead of 250mg E7D)
And that way getting minimal estrogen conversion. Maybe that would lower blood pressure? It gave him better cholesterol nevertheless.

would like toknow that also it would surely be better than having to take more and more meds to offset the various sides?

Ive been "off" apart from my cruise dose of 250mg for 8 weeks now.

I've heard taking garlic pills or even eating raw garlic helps lower bp I haven't tried it personally. Ive been on bp meds since i was 26

Ameal BP supplement got me from 140-150/80-90 to 120-130/60-65 range. You can google and read the reviews which are mostly very good, but for some it did not work.

Thanks I just ordered Jarrows generic version pretty much the same thing the Jarrow formula has a few added extras like CQ10..

I also Got some celery seed, hawthorne and garlic caps as well..


Hopefully I can get it down to my 130-140/80 pre AAS levels..

1000mgs a day works well if your not really high bp, but you have to use it for quite a while( like months)

BP

Lots of cardio. I take my resting heart rate or pulse frequently. Resting heart rate ranges from 60-100 a wide range but the lower, the better. Lance Armstrongs is like 30-35bpm. If mine is 90-100 then I have high BP. I am about 70ish right now and BP is good.

Anything good for heart like omega-3, EFA's, flax seed oil, coq10, hawthorne, garlic, even asprin or red wine help lower BP, but cardio helps me most and I hate it but I need it. I have not needed to get on drugs but on the boarderline.

Also, I read that pulse pressure or the diff between the high and low number is a key indicator (higher is bad and 30-40 is "normal"). I was 120/90 or 30 pulse pressure. The 90 is considered high but a 30 pulse pressure is low. I think its because I do not do much cardio lately. If I bring my resting heart rate down low then BP will go lower I am certain.

test

One more thing....I think there is something to Emerics using 50mg ED because I used the test prop sublingual tabs (20mg ea) and they worked great. No high BP, no liver stress, and felt the androgen and no bloat like with 250mg enanthate once a week.

 

[DOOGIE DOG]

Blood pressure will go down by consuming fewer carbs, having lower levels of body fat and perfoming extra cardio.

doggie

Yes.
I just got into the anabolic diet (low carbs) and less water and BP.....very true how carbs increase BP expecially high glycemic index carbs....

 

[Doberman77]

Im on a keto I have one carb up a week I do LIC 6-7 a week along with 2x GPP hopefully when I get to 220lbs plus the supps I will see some improvement.I really DONT want to be on BP meds at 32

Did you use an Aromatase Inhibitor?

 

[FuriousFarmah]

Did you use an Aromatase Inhibitor?

Very good point- estrogen causes water retention, which in turn raises blood pressure. That's why diuretics lower blood pressure. An AI is a great idea.

 

[Doberman77]

Did you use an Aromatase Inhibitor?

No I didnt and I dont... any recomendations?

Since there are literally over a dozen factors that cause high BP, getting it checked by a Dr is the way to go.

For a long time, I had high Sytolic - 145+ and normal Diastolic 70 -75. So, somehow, when my heart beats, the blood surging thru my arteries were consticting them, causing high pressure. But, In between beats, my arteries would basically deflate to a normal pressure level.

I cut down on the salt, used diurhetics, ate like a small woodland varmit basically, but I couldnt get it down. But my Diastolic dropped into the 60s?!?!My family has no history of Hypertension either.

So, turns out, my muscles were constricting my arteries. It took Ace inhibitors to lower it down.
