Weird BP readings: Need help

[fedemart]

I’m currently on an 800mg test blast. My BP is clocking in at 132/52 with a heart rate of 65 bpm, while running 40mg Telmisartan and 5mg Nebivolol after bed. What can I do to get these numbers back into a more normal range?

This isn't that abnormal

Not an emergency or anything but I’d get evaluated as your “pulse pressure” (the gap between systolic and diastolic) is not healthy (<60 is normal).

No need to be too alarmed, as this may just warrant the need for an adjustment of your medications.

Maybe drop the telmisartan to 20

What is weird about having an increased blood pressure (ever so slightly) when taking 800mg of an aromatizing drug?

- lower the dose
- add an AI
- switch antihypertensives
- do nothing (what I would for for systolic of 132)

The strange thing is the pulse pressure.

I have the same tendency -> low diastolic and ~ normal systolic.

115-130/50-65 is my normal reading. No blood pressure meds. I'm sure if I had normal bodyweight, my systolic would be so low that I would have normal pulse pressure. I used to get readings of 100 systolic. Cardiologists arent worried about it.

Biggest missing chunk of information -> What is your normal, for you, before you jumped on 800mg of test?

Everyone should be tracking health indicators religiously. This allows you to identify anomalies, trends etc FOR YOU.

I track:

BP - twice a week
BG - once a week
Weight - everyday
Calories - everyday
Everything I take test, AI, dnp, etc etc etc. With a total for compounds per week
Blood test results. This is also cross referenced to what I am taking so I can note impacts
Bodyfat - 3 point calipers every few weeks, unless cutting then I do it weekly

All of these are super easy to log into a Google Sheet. Then use averages to smooth out the indicators.

What gets measured, matters....

Personally wouldn’t be to concerned with that. How are you feeling? Mine Bp runs around the same on blast. What’s your Bp without the meds? And when off a cycle?

There are several fixable reasons for a higher pulse pressure. Stress, dehydration, elevated HCT. I would assume that this gap is not normal or you would not have made a post.

He's asymptomatic. Negative for any mentionable history. It is likely idiopathic and benign.

Brother, I’m South Slavic so those numbers are my normal figures before starting gear. Lol.

We need to establish a baseline on whats your normal first. Are you taking an AI? Are you holding water? Bf?

Have recent bloods?

Off meds I’m 140/80-90, and off gear I'm at 120/70.

Sitting at 12% BF and not running an AI. No high E2 sides, though I’ve got some chest acne—not sure if it’s related.

It could be. If I’m not super lean, my blood pressure skyrockets like a MF without an AI. And 800 is objectively a healthy dose of test. But, I’m one of those people where I have to dial everything in to keep it in an acceptable range.

I think bloodwork is your best option at this point. As others have said, your blood pressure isn’t concerning at this point. Though do watch it and try to see what you can do to mitigate it.
