Blood Pressure......cause for concern???
Age--25
Ht---5'11"
WT---250
I just got back from the doctor's office (I go annually and get my asthma prescriptions refilled). Anyway, they took my BP several times and each time it was 148/98. Yes, they used the big-dog cuff.
I finished my test/tren cycle 6 weeks ago and figured I'd be healthy as a horse. Obviously, I was wrong. I will be going back in on Wednesday for a re-check and for blood to be drawn. How concerned should I be???

What you should do is increase your cardio workouts, decrease salt usage, etc. Go to http://www.americanheart.org It is the American Heart Association site and you can click and learn all about BP and what to do. Don't stress out about it as your doc knows and it is easily treatable once detected.

I suspected nerves might have played a role in my high reading, so I went to the local drug store. An hour after my 148/98 reading at the doctor's office, the drug store machine gave me a reading of 131/81.
I had hoped to go back on a cycle in the beginning of February. Any other suggestions??? If I consistently get reasonable readings at the drug store, can I shrug off the reading at the doctor's office??
Thanks.

I'd happily spend the extra bills for the automatic one, but its for 9-13" arms.
The top one is for arms up to 17" (I'm even to big for this one, but I assume it will work).

carl carlson, toolman has given you great advice....Just one additional suggestion that I have -- when you go back to your dr let him/her know that you were taking AAS. Your dr really needs to know that you were on AAS. You are protected under HIPPA and a host of other physician-patient regulations so don't be worried about being turned in or anything like that..

Given the fact that "White Coat Syndrome" is very real for some folks, so much that a 10 point jump is not all that uncommon.
Also, given the fact that you are only 6 weeks out of a cycle and weighing 250lbs, my suggestion would be to be honest with the Doc and then hit the Cardio hard, maybe take 10lbs off and go to 240lbs and see where your sweet spot is.
I've seen BP way way higher than that in some guys back in the day and they are all still alive bro!
I don't mean that you should not keep and eye on it, but it can be a focus so much so that it goes up automatically everytime the Doc checks ya. Get a monitor and check it at home when your just chillen.
Good luck, MJ
