Need honest answer

ad

If you are on meds for high bp should I do a cycle of test? I am 39 years old 185lbs. My bp has always been high been on meds for about 8 years for it. It is under control now due to the fact that I am on bp meds. I'm really leaning towards doing a cycle. This won't be my first cycle I have done 2 before when I was in my 20's. Would you guys chance it and do a cycle or should I not bother?

Viking is the man, I shall not tread on the mans words, BUT may I ask if you have had your natural test lvls checked? Reason why I ask is because while in college I worked in greenhouses dealing with pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, blah, blah, blah.... Many of which are banned today. I had low T in my early 30's and to the best of my Drs reasoning it was because I had dealt with these substances in my late teens early 20s and had basically poisoned my balls.
Either way. The FIRST STEP for anyone wanting to look into running gear is to get a baseline test lvl ran.
Come to find out that my seemingly natural affinity towards androgens/anabolics was that I was not naturally producing enough and not getting the natural benefits of testosterone to start with.
Now let me add a lil something... After my Dr confirmed I had low test and gave me supplementation the whole world changed. And so did I, my attitude, my sex drive, my eagerness to get shit done. And I loved it!.
And inevitably I wanted MORE!!!!! No I'm not on a stage....But everyday I walk into that gym like I am.

Not bother, but I think you knew this answer as you typed the question.

A large amount of compounds are going to give u either a slight raise or high raise in blood pressure and this will be determined on the dosages an individual takes and the duration of there cycle, so I don't see know point in taking a Dr prescription med if your going to counter act it by taking anabolics...And it seems that your on this med for a good reason so for me I'd say leave the anabolics alone and see what you can do with your diet and training.
Health is paramount in all case my friends

I don't believe you should even consider steroids. Not what you want to hear I guess, but looking at the drug there's quite a few risks and contraindications. To be honest you should be taking it easy in the gym period.

Honestly, you're 5'10" at 185lbs. What is your BF%? You could gain quite a bit naturally just by fine tuning your diet rather than jumping on AAS.

And as for being on required BP medications, I personally wouldn't do it. It's not worth your health man.

What BP medication are you on and what dose? Had any complications related to your BP problem?
