high blood pressure question...

[toned]

Hi Everyone,
I hope im posting this is the right forum....
My question is; whats your blood pressure like when you are on a cycle ?
Normally, my blood pressure if 120/80 most of the year, BUT as soon as i start a a cycle, it goes up to 140/90 or 150/100... i was wondering IF that's normal when you do a cycle... im a guy that normally has anxiety, and take medication for that, BUT when i start a cycle, and start to see my blood pressure go up, then my anxiety also goes up...
my cycles are with test,deca, sometimes Dboll nothing else, but i worry about the HBP...

Thanks in advance for any responses...

Mine WAS 160/110.. Light headed, felt like shit.. Take lisinopril 20mg and hctz 12.5mg keeps it 130s/80

Also take ai/anti e... And watch out for tren! If it doesnt do it by itself, the anxiety does hahaha

I got diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder about 7 years ago and have been using Paxil for it at a very low dosage all those years. When I'm on gear my anxiety will elevate a little but my bp stays consistently normal.

Its quite normal for BP to spike while on aas. The more you take, compound dependent the var it will spike. If you know you are chronically beyond stage 2 hypertension levels you'll have to either back off or find a way to run that level of gear and reduce it. No one should justify high BP merely because its for contest prep and only lasts 6-12 weeks.
I've had my days of 160/100 but using the same compounds at lower doses I can stay near the ideal 120/80 even on tren. If you need lisinopril or whatever use it. I don't myself but its close and there if I need it. Hawthorn Berry might be of benefit to those seeking natural remedy.
I'm inclined to believe a bit more cardio and aspirin therapy has helped me as well as a reduction on sodium intake.
It goes without saying things will go up when on unless you are aggressive with BP management.

Don't underestimate the silent killer.

I have both high anxiety and high blood pressure. The blood pressure has been a problem since my mid teens. The anxiety has come during the last 3-4 years of stress in life. I take meds for both.


Even with your normal blood pressure off-cycle, I think you should really push your doctor to get you on an ACE inhibitor OR get yourself healthier diet and cardio wise. The systolic number seems okay, but the diastolic is too high for my liking. Your heart needs to relax, or dilate. If it goes HIGHER on cycle, it's only a matter of time before something bad happens NOW or accumulates to be a future issue.

It's called the silent killer for a reason.

Yea those work great. Adding the diuretic to the ace really helps me too.

OP do you have high resting heart rate too? I do, like 100bpm, but I think is anxiety.
I feel like higg resting rate has some to.do.with bp..

 

[ronnieron]

my bp was 154/59, how is this?

Your systolic (top number) is a little high. Should be 120 or less. Your diastolic is great. Should be less than 80. Blood pressures vary with time of day, stress, anxiety, pain, etc., so keep this in mind.

Yeah but a pulse pressure of 95 is not good. That could indicate some serious issues like a leaky aortic valve. A high resting pulse pressure can be harmful and tends to accelerate the normal aging of body organs, particularly the heart, the brain and kidneys.... Or so I have read...

Only reason I know this is I had some heart concerns recently that made me decide to see a cardiologist to rule out issues... In doing this, I studied alot about the heart and implications of symptoms...

Great comment. Alpha6164 our resident MD here at PM confirmed this as well.
Pulse Pressure being the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressures just in case anyone didn't know. 40 is kinda the sweet spot and a pulse pressure worse than 60 is quite undesirable. Alpha has even stated it would be better to be 140/90 than 140/70 simply because of the better PP

Bingo. It's funny though how many MDs are not competent on pulse pressure. Alpha is a very bright guy and an asset to this community

It's normal, you got nothin' to worry about with those numbers. Keep on truckin'

Agreed! See a doc and let him get you on something now before you begin to accumulate damage.

Should not be related to high BP. It can be a lot of things. If its high like that all day long and even when you first get up in the morning then I would be concerned. For me it was the warning sign that I had cardiomyopathy.
