Taking blood pressure medication while on cycle ?
ad
Hey I have some blood pressure reduction meds around. Would it be fine to take them while on cycle to keep blood pressure down? My current brand is Exforge.

DT-SwoleI have NOT run several cycles at 20. The cycle I'm currently running is my FIRST.
I'm probably going to take a 4-6 month break until my next cycle. Perhaps longer.
AnonProps, that was a lot of muscle gained natty.
DT-SwoleThere's no point in arguing with certain people online man... it'll just get you angry and nowhere :\
Big DTswole, dont take offence to what the older guys say. Me and you are very similar (go hard or go home). They just get concerned coz over the years theyv seen people like you and me come and go.... literally go!!
In the ground... dead, from being too ambitious.
I personally think that you "do" know what your talking about:)
Ive had people tell me to slow down ect. But different strokes for different folks! We are all different and free to do what we want.
Youv obviously picked up on the BP issue and want to keep it in check, if you were a moron... you would ignore it, but you didnt! As far as drinking juice, cardio ect.... Those things do work for mild cases, but if your using high doses or never come off (me!), you owe it to yourself to see your doc and let them treat the issue.
I let my BP run rampant for a few years and have had issues recently, This is what the older boys "dont" want to see, people at 29 with enlarged heart, poor quality of life ect.. They dont say it coz they dont have anything better to do, If I posted my upcoming cycle I think their eyes would pop haha.
PM me if you ever need to chat bro.
Unbiased advise without judging, youl get flamed because of your age, but you obviously have the will to learn brother
sgtstedankoOR; some of us may or may not have made choices that we lived to regret. & are just trying hard to help little kids, grow up... & cardio helps a lot, for me...
I didnt mean to offend anyone bro, and Im sorry if I did.
But you dont have to tell me to grow up.
sgtstedankoI wasn't offended. It was a comma, not a period. Was talking generally. Not directed@you, just replied to your comment. Little kids, All of these little crying babies; need to grow up. Right now they think they're men. In ten years, they'll realize the error in their ways. Because as little kids, they know it all, & couldn't possibly learn something from someone who's been down that road. Before it was paved...
It must of been a different time back then, we are soo lucky to have the internet now... its never been easier for us access info.
Whats a binky by the way?!?!?! never heard that one?
sgtstedankoA baby blanket
DT-SwoleYes I do own a bp monitor.
And I do about 15 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week.
To manlytt, alot of people have suggested that I have or am very near my natural peak. (My avatar pic is of me)
@Tryptamine you should have seen what this FCVtec guy posted in my other threads, bashing my physique, saying all sorts of other shit to me, that wasn't at all helpful. Same with the jpal guy. They seem to search threads under my name and post retarded shit on them out of spite. I'll discontinue the meds and keep track of my bp with the monitor (although my arm barely fits in the wrap). I don't really eat much salty food and home town buffet is a once a month kind of thing.
first of all i never bashed your physique i just said what you are doing is stupid and i dont follow your posts they pop up and stick out you post about dumb shit everyday blood pressure meds and your 20 years old that just shows how smart you are
I have a BP monitor too bro, but i had to buy the bigger arm cuff too lol!
I think mines for going around people legs or something haha
sgtstedankoYou really need more cardio. That's a warm-up b4 every single workout for me. Nothing is better than sprinting/pushups, etc, 1st thing in the mornings pre workout. You should slow down. Honestly discontinue juice. You are listening to morons, if they tell you that you're @ your natty peak (i can tell by your avi, you're not) we won't even get into the aspects that your age brings into it. You Di post some retarded posts though, too... Don't be dumb, you're too young : )
AnonI'm not a fucking moron sarge. Sure there's always improvements to be made, but the guy isn't going to throw on 20 more pounds of LBM onto that frame without any "help". I think he should discontinue juice too, hell I should discontinue juice, but neither one of us is going to so let's just be real about it.
sgtstedankoHang on dude, let me warm up your bottle, & get your binky. I'll be right back : )
AnonI'd think a guy that's led the life you have would be more mature. I'm honestly waiting for a "yo moma" joke at this point.
sgtstedankoMeh. You were the one crying... Seriously. I've been there. You will regret it, when you guys are men. Remember that... Maturity, shit brother. I'm still 14@heart. If I didn't have a sense of humor, I'd be dead ;'(
AnonYou insulted my intelligence without provocation. Anyone would take offense to that. As far as considering everyone apparently below your age not men, who the FUCK are you to say behind that keyboard of yours? You have NO idea who I am or what I've done with my life, go take your judgements and choke on them. I'm not going to continue a pissing match with an imbecile, have a fantastic day.
sgtstedankoJeez, all this anger, after I got your bottle & your binky? There's no getting through to you guys hug. I honestly wasn't even talking about you specifically. I didn't read all the posts b4 posting that... You must be a kid, you obviously have the mentality of one. I'm the guy that's telling you, & all you other little boys, that think you're men & reached your potential @ 20, etc. That you will regret getting started so young. You know I'm right. Or, someday you will kid. & actually, I'm on my phone half a world away from my keyboard. Good luck & good night
AnonIn all honesty you do look like you are at/close to your natural peak. Big dude, no doubt. Just maybe consider taking 8-12 months in-between cycles at least? spend the down time dialing in diet, getting lean nice and slow without sacrificing muscle. Looks like you've ran several cycles already at 20, if you want to hear about my problems from running gear at a young age ( younger than you are now ) I'll tell you in PM. Just looking out.
dont even bother bro hes not worth your time
Do you own a bp monitor? If you really are 20, you may want to reacess your decision of anabolics. You'll be shutting down natural test. Your natural test is high at your age. Food will make you grow alongside training. Your test levels are probably as high as mine when I'm cruising. These guys really are looking out for your best interests here.
DT-SwoleATTENTION, my bp was 122/83 WITHOUT THE MEDS. I was taking them for the prevention of it spiking higher.
What is it when you're on cycle? If you're talking about taking non-prescribed BP meds for an on cycle BP of 140/90 I'd say forget it. Give them to your grandma.
Try taking any of the following instead:
Co-Q10; l-carnitine; Flax oil; Fish oil; Hawthorn Berry; Garlic (selenium); Calcium; Magnesium; Potassium; Vitamins C,D,E,B complex; Folic acid; and Niacin
Plenty of cardio, sleep, eliminate salt, drink plenty of water.
That pretty much sums it up. Oh yea tumurik too
DT-SwoleI take about 6 gs of fish oil a day =)
Great info! +1
DT-SwoleMy bp is currently at 122/83. You should STOP following my fucking threads.
Obviously BP is going to increase while on cycle. I'm just trying to be safe here.
AnonHe was only trying to help.... A lot of people here have followed similar paths and/or watched others do it, we just don't want you to suffer the consequences that some of us personally have dealt with or seen others deal with. Don't get mad people are just trying to look out for your safety. Your BP looks fine, I wouldn't take the pills bro. Stick with juicing ( no not test, veggies )
Monitor it, but at your age I can't imagine it spiking too high even with gear.
sgtstedankoHe is right though, young man. I've told you this in pm. To which your response was "still taking the same amounts". Slow down, brother. Be the turtle.. AAS will always be, your health won't, the way you're going.
I use two meds year round:
Crestor 20mg (lipids) and
Trandolapril 4mg (ace-inhibitor for blood pressure)...
Only side effects are blood work coming back near perfect.
Im "on" pretty much year round so it makes sense to just bite the bullet and keep that shit in check. Guys that do even time on/time off are different, they'r BP/cholesterol should return to normal after pct.
Dont just take what you have lying around mate, theres always advances in meds and your doc might be able to put you on something better, keep in mind, if you dont have a doctor do the dosing for you, you run the risk of low blood pressure which is VERY dangerous!
Hope this help ya brother
irishpride79haha your name is poofinger!!!
Ctfu! I said the same thing when I first saw it
haha... always glad to make someone smile!
And that name was well earned brother haha.
Are you already doing cardio 20min minimum 3x a week? I believe that bp is very controlable through cardio and diet like tryp said... The medication would be last resort for me... I saw your post about going to the buffet, and if your eating out a lot, You may be takin in too much sodium, which causes hypertension. So, Cut out the salty shit, cardio, and get your vitamins. Bp meds should be last resort.
DT-SwoleMy mom juices celery and some kind of spinach and some other green shit.... I'm going to start drinking it too.
I take Lisinopril 10mg when it gets bad. I also do some juicing and that truly does work for BP and countless other things. I have a special tonic I use for my liver and BP. Sister is a Herbalist(Super Hippie) and she is in charge of all that stuff. I just drink whatever she says. But when I am running orals my BP goes through the roof. I don't like taking chances and I bust out the Meds.
sgtstedankoPatchouli moon beam skunk doobie Garcia!?
LOL... ah, the memories... if only I could remember them.
sgtstedankoHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Wait; what were we just talking about, dude?
Lmao!!! What can I say you know what state I'm from;-) lol
sgtstedankoIt's a beautiful place.
AnonYou can do that thru diet. Pills not needed! My method is juicing. No i'm not being a smartass, I juice up some carrots/kale/spinach and drink 8 oz. portions 4x a day in-between meals. Once you do this religiously for about 2 weeks, you will start to notice some serious improvement overall in how you feel, from your joints to your BP. I've always had low BP but my dad used juicing + diet to get off all his BP and cholesterol meds, which IMO never did jack shit anyways but cause nasty side effects.
It is a pain in the dick to make juice all the time, but with this jar vacuum sealer I have, I can just make 8 jars at once and it'll still be more than good for the next 2 days. I'll provide the info for which juicers are good / wtf the vacuum sealer is called ( i'd have to go look ) if anyone is ACTUALLY interested lmao.
