blood pressure has been creeping up--I have been on 80 mg telmisartan and now added in 5 mg amlodipine and it's still a bit high--150ish/80-90. This is something I need to tackle with the doctor but in the short term my life insurance expired and they are wanting to do an exam... I can up the amlodipine and add in a diuretic but my question is if they do a blood test will they check for those things which I have not disclosed taking?
thanks,
Climber

What gear are you taking? What’s your RHR? There’s a lot of missing stats and variables here before anyone can weigh in IMO.

What does your doctor say?

At the end of the day you need to find what’s keeping your BP so high and eliminate it. Stacking meds isn’t ideal as I am sure you are aware.
 
height, weight? age?

what is your diet like? sleep? sleep apnea? alcohol/smoking?

how much cardio do you do per day?

and what drugs do you take for bodybuilding?
 
hey, right now I'm just on 150mg/wk trt... yes obviously this is something I need to work on but my immediate question is whether or not the life insurance company is gonna look at what other blood pressure medication I have in my system... if I get turned down it will cause a lot of problems I think

But yes we'll have to start trying to figure out why everything is so high as I'm really fit and I'm not on any gear or hgh

High blood pressure has been a problem for a while-- I'm 57 and it definitely runs in the family --but several months ago I got Covid when I was on a bit of gear and HGH and I think it fucked me up and made things worse

To my knowledge no life insurance is going to be testing for BP meds. Will they look at your prescriptions and your BP in that moment at the test, yes.

You could bump the calcium channel blocker to 10mg since you already have it for this period to bring it down. Just keep in mind that’s the stronger of the calcium channel blockers you’re on.

Immediately after your life insurance exam I would schedule cardiac screening if it was me whether it’s from COVID, lifestyle or a blockage it’s best to be proactive and get to the bottom of it.

As always just my opinion.

This and what’s your bf%

Blood pressure creeps up when you hold more fat / water.

Not an assumption, just a question.

OK thanks, yes I am getting on this ASAP as I understand the potential danger etc. but I need to re-up my life insurance before a cardiologist discovers something potentially bad which would fuck my 15 year term insurance up for sure

yes, I do about 40 minutes of trail running or hiking on hilly terrain every morning and I'm pretty lean right now. Diet is good, Mediterranean diet/pescatarian, mostly organic. and nothing has really changed with any of that stuff and yet the blood pressure continues to climb. But I started this thread just to find out if anyone knew if they would be looking in my blood for different blood pressure medications since I am claiming to only take telmisartan... going to a cardiologist pretty soon to try to get to the bottom of it
 
PSA to anyone on the board wanting life insurance:

If you're a AAA member you can get life insurance through them with no medical testing. I pay around $30 per month for a $300,000 policy.
I have the exact same ($300,000 for $90 billed every 3 months)
Thru UNION LABOR LIFE INSURANCE. I am a AAA member though and will look into that one also.

This is roughly what my BP runs. I am not on any BP meds and took 200 mg viagra about an hr prior to the exam and had 3 consecutive readings at roughly 128/80. I see some replies which say they don’t test for BP meds but in my experience they do.
