testosterone and blood pressure

[tornquad2]

am curious to how testosterone only affects ones blood pressure.I would like to see examples of test dose and bp before and after starting.EXP 600 TEST,BEFORE 120/80 AFTER - 130/85

I believe that most aas cause elevation of bp to some degree especially as one gains more weight. I have hypertension and have to take meds and when I used to do heavy cycles, it would make my bp spike. Currently on hrt and my bp hovers around 110/65. For you since your bp is slightly elevated, I would recommend doing cardio to get it down to normal range. I don't think meds are necessary at this point as your bp isn't quite high enough. Also, stay away from shit food and keep your sodium intake low.

If you eat a clean natural diet, your bp probably won't go up much unless you're taking a high dose of it.

thanks that was just a example i was looking for others to post there experences to see if higer doses resulted in high bp

I find my BP only really changes when I am changing doses. Give it a little time to adjust and I'm back to normal BP.

Cardio, cardio, cardio.

That will definitely help with your BP. Like some have said most if not all AAS raise BP, some to higher degree than others.

EQ=Worst for BP

I think that one way it can increase BP is when some is converted to estrogen .
Here is a study on that: New study suggests link between estrogen, blood pressure | MSUToday | Michigan State UniversityPretty sure that increase in water retention happens too in the cells and that can increase the blood volume which leads to higher BP.

Another way in stimulating angiotensin formation which leads to more vasoconstriction.

Here is a cool study on it:
The influence of testosterone on blood pressure and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a black South African population. - PubMed - NCBI

Shows some definite benefits to testosterone too.

Many people with high BP take ARBs and ACE inhibitors which combat this.
