was heading for a stroke, or worse!

[alan1973]

Before I was using any gear I was usually 135/80 bp68 resting.
After my first cycle I went up a tad to 138/85 bp 70 and stayed that way until I started my first injectable cycle.
I just hit week 4 of my cycle(Test, tren, Deca) and my blood pressure was skyrocketing. I then added anadrol in week 5 to boost my strength for an upcomming comp and that put me over the top, I am talking 170/110 HR94 and this is after waking up.
I dropped the anadrol and started garlic supps and already I am back down to 148/94 HR 84 resting.
I think that my body is just telling me that the 30 minutes total cardio every week means shit. I was eating (almost)right, but lots.
my BF went from 21% to 19% and my weight went up 5 pounds or so.
I am gonna go ahead and start pct in 2 weeks and once I feel I have control of my BP I may finish from where I started, this time with a stricter diet and more cardio. I will never go back to being gear free, but now I have learned more about what gear likes me and which ones don't.
i may be one of those guys that should stick with low dosages of test and winny and anavar.
I would like those of you with BP issues (and those that don't) to chime in with gear you know plays havoc on your BP.
thanks!!

Tren is what really gets my BP up. Never have used Anadrol though. Good thing you were keeping an eye on your BP::ction-sm

well, i take the 100mg aspirin 3x/wk (if I remember)
but I plan on bumping that up to everyday now.

You can take some blood pressure medication, will not interfere with the aas.

 

[littlemack]

Alan. Dude. You know better than this. You should have seen a doctor to get on bp med. These herbal remedies do not work fast enough. Adding cardio does not work fast enough. Changing your diet will not work fast enough. You need to make sure your bp runs in the 135-145/75-85 range or lower. I had a similar experience on a prohormone that had tren in it. BP went up to 160/90+, I got all freaked out, had a panic attack one night and went to the ER and shit. Now I'm on meds and taking it again and my bp is like 130/70 throughout the day.
Come on guys. Check your bp 3 times a day when starting a new cycle and make sure your bp is under control.

Anything that makes me hold more fluid like Dbol or Adrol drives my BP sky high. You were very smart to monitor you BP!

 

[Paul Bunyan]

For me, cardio has always made a huge difference. But i Have to do it 4x/wk for it to help. Most people neglect cardio in their program. I weigh over 300lbs all of the time so if I can do it anyone can. And stay away from the AAS that aggravate your BP.

yes. A good session of cardio will dialate those blood vessels. And that = lower blood pressure. When I had my stress test, my BP readings had dropped 20+ points from before the test vs. immediately after I got off the treadmill.

You are taking Test and EQ together and somehow blaming EQ for your high blood pressure? How does that work?! You should also mention at what dosages you were using for both.

 

[Putin]

You should read side effects of aspirin use, especially if you plan on running it everyday. Like stomach ulcers and bleeding. Fun, fun stuff.

 

[DOGGCRAPP]

I have a question: If you had a stroke or heart attack what would of been to blame? "Those darn evil steroids did this to me" or your irresponsibility with keeping your blood pressure in check? (anadrol?)

Im not trying to be a dick..I just read the title to the thread and the first line and my first thought would of been this if I was you......"Dammit I know better than this, IM pissed at myself for not thinking health first, muscle later"

 

[km2000]

ya the galric supps, and baby asprin will help to lower bp, you should also look into clonadine, its a bp med that is used for induced hypertension, like steroids. it also helps to release more growth hormone... google it and look into it a little bit!

BECAUSE EQ RAISES YOUR RED BLOOD CELL COUNT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS EQ AND OR DROL WILL RAISE YOUR BP MORE THAN ANYTHING MAYBE TREN BUT DIDNT MESS WITH ME THE TREN THAT IS.PEACE

TOTALLY AGREE!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. Its just plain irresponsible. Sorry Alan. You know better though. So go to the doc tomorrow.

Besides...Your readings, though high, could have been a lot higher! Like in the 210/150 range!

come on dude you use bayer low dose 81 mg.make sure you get the safety coated ones make sure of this.they have a little heart on the bottle.i only use while on cycle.but people with heart trouble and or cardio desease take them all the time per cardioligist request.peace

I would advise anybody on gear to take a baby aspirin everyday with food. Anabolics tend to raise RBC and a small aspirin daily has been well documented to counteract your platelets ability to stick together possibly avoiding a stroke or heart attack in a worse case scenerio. Doctors use this regimen regularly

 

[waldo]

on my last cycle (drol, tren a, prop) I had this problem also. was my first time with tren, my BP went up to 186/112. this was my fault due to the fact I didnt check my BP regularly its back to normal now. man did I learn my lesson on that one. safty/health first boys cheers
