Other then give blood, can one take a script for lowering blood pressure during a cycle? Something like capoten? Or is this something to worry about once you're blood pressure is high?
I believe anyone with high blood pressure should certainly take it seriously. I tried several meds with poor success until I found BYSTOLIC 10mg. It's pretty impressive. My bp was averaging 140/100, walking heart rate 110. With meds, 120/74 Heart rate 74-76.
Excellent med, and I feel better.
I've had high BP since i was 15. Docs don't know why. Went through a bunch of tests. I'm on 40mg lisinopril ED with 12.5mg diazyde. It feels fantastic. I never have issues.
Clonidine is a terrible choice for an active person because it's a beta-blocker. It does the reverse of clenbuterol. Clen is a beta-agonist. Beta receptors control your nervous system. Clonidine will therefore slowwwww you down. My family doctor tried clonidine when I was younger (like an IDIOT). I literally didn't get out of bed for 2 days.
Yeah, beta blockers suck. I can attest to that. Im on 80 mg/day coreg, and thats the highest they normally go on the drug. It slows you down big time. I cant get my heart rate over 135 BPM, no matter how hard I workout. My metabolism has slowed. One of the known sides is weight gain. Avoid it if you can.
Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, and works fine in most cases. Im on that now too. Im on all kinds of shit!
yeah i also use lisinopril @ 10 mg ed when on..it works very well and is like 4 bucks a month for the script so...
After some independent research, I found Losinopril to be a great choice in controlling my blood pressure. I used it almost a year ago. It is in the Ace Inhibitor class of blood pressure medicines, and as such leads to fewer side effects in my opinion. I don’t use blood pressure medicine any longer, but had a bought with temporary hypertension a few years ago. High blood pressure is nothing to mess around with. If you have it you should treat it! I was always told by the Doctors “once you start using blood pressure medicine you are on it for life”. This turned out not to be true for me, and I am currently control my blood pressure with diet and my workout routine (cardio).
I personally could not tolerate the Beta Blockers (Toporol). I blame this drug for completely screwing up my hormone panels and making me feel like shit. I have no scientific proof, but this medicine was the only variable in my training and health routine at the time and it changed my health for the worse in a short period of time. Once I started using Losinopril in place of Toporol I felt measurably better and eventually titrated off the medicine all together. The side effects of Toporol (Beta Blocker) were intolerable to me. I was in my early 40’s when I was prescribed it.
i used to have HBP for just abt my whole life, then i came up with a mix that got me into the normal range, 15g arginine split into 3 doses and half a 325mg aspirin 2x a day, ur bp will drop within a week, and ur "pole" could crack granite

Any stomach issues with the aspirin? I take the standard 81 mg baby aspirin but have never tried higher does because of the reported effects on stomach bleeding.
Maldorf,
I really want to thank you for bringing up BP so much. Mine has been high for the last couple of years and anytime I go to a Doctor (I move around alo so I don't have a GP) they always say "you need to dosomething about that"
But no one has ever told me that having high BP could cause trouble down the road.
It had been about 145/90 the last couple of years but lately it has been up around 165/100 and I still didn't react till I saw all your posts. I have an appt with a Doc next week
Thanks
