High Blood Pressure...
ad
Just got myself a device to take my blood pressure readings at home...
I'm concerned ... 153 over 101 pulse 75...
4 weeks into a cycle...
Any advice on how to lower my blood pressure or is it advisable to take a trip to the docs..?

Anonpup, I am going to bump an older post on bp you should read it..
i checked mine yesterday 140/70 ??? opinion?
Anonpre hypertensive.. would like to see it around 120...go do some cardio.. ;-)
i do lots of cardio. i missed 2 days this week but the mma 4 days a week. and it has only gotten there since i started the cycle. but i will continue the cardio. have training tomorrow 5 hours session.
Nasty81NateThx grrrrl, appreciate the good info
For comparison's sake, at the end of my 12 week at 900mg/week test-e cycle my bp was 160 over 101. It's scary, but manageable now that I'm off cycle.
Like others have recommended, you should reduce caffiene/salt intake, drink more water, and add in some more cardio. Breathing therapy helps me, too.
Stay safe!
AnonThanks for all the comments guys... I think i will cut my dbol cycle early.. do 1 more week making a total of 5... The test and Deca should kick in around then anyway.. Hopefully one more week on the dbol aint going to kill me!! ;o)
Could also be the machine... think I'll book an appointment with the doc in a week or so and see where I'm at then..
Wish I'd never bough the bloody thing now!
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.Permalinkha bro its good that you bought it, means your being careful. If you know someone who is off cycle i would go ahead and use it on them so you can see how it reads out, preferably someone who as a reader themselves so you can compare the two. sometimes there are off, and if you can figure out how they are off you can just offset your readings from then on.
good luck on your cycle man, stay stong.
OE2000Great idea!!!!
Thanks brotha, ha i try
OE2000Those can give false readings, I have 2 to compare and sometimes they are way off from each other. 1st thing is you have to relax, sit completely still, don't take BP within an hour of eating or exercise, drinking coffee or any caffeinated drinks. I usually take it 3 times to make sure readings are consistent...... hope this helps!
Nasty81NateI've been going through the same thing....and I directly relate to the d-bols I've been taking. They had my BP skyrocketed 3 days into my cycle. I've cut them out for a few days, and I may start back up on a much smaller dosage.
Drink LOTS of water, watch your caffeine and sodium intake, and take some ibuprofen. Throw 20 minutes of cardio in at least eod, and more than likely you should be ok. But first lets try n figure out what the culprit is...so definitely post your cycle up here, and stats.
AnonThanks for the info Nasty81Nate... imagine I'm in the same boat with the dbol...
My cycle is..
Week 1-6 dbol 40mg
Week 1-14 Testoviron 500mg
Week 1-12 Deca 400mg
Planning..
Week 14-16 Test prop 100mg eod
Week 10-16 Anavar 50mg ed
Week 16-20 40/40/20/20 nolva and 100/50/50/25 clomid

OE2000Good points Nasty... For me, its a flush feeling in the face, notice myself taking deep breaths, hard to relax..
Anonnone of those symptoms.. to be fair feel fine, little stiff from 4 days heavy training but eating well and sleeping well so not too concerned.
your dbol dosage isnt too high, but your right at the time of test being at a good point so that with the dbol could have an affect. also like others have said it depends on when your taking the reading and what your doing a few hours before hand.
Just bought one of those myself. My dumbass didn't read the instructions the first time I did it and mine was 175 over 105. I nearly shit myself, but I decided to read the instructions before going to the ER. Turns out my BP is more like 130 over 90 - higher than usual but not too dangerous.
You're probably not doing this, but I though I would share just in case
