    Why is my face always flushed red? High BP?

    I am currently into my 3rd week of EQ/Fina/Prop... and I've noticed the other day that my face is considerably redder (and hotter) than usual.

    My GF even noticed my face flush red for no apparent reason as well....

    Just wondering if this is the norm... I've done three other cycles in the past and have never had this occur before.

    Could it be high(er) BP causing this?

    i get this also, its high blood pressure from the AS. Its normal. I know alot of people who get this side effect. My whole body gets this way. Its almost like sunburn. If you press your and against your chest and let go, it leaves a white hand print for a seconds. I had a couple beers the other day with my girl and you should of saw my face. It turned red as hell.

    Not much... 400mg/wk. Fina is average too.. 75mg/ed. Are there any supps I can take to counter this, or should I just live with it for the duration of the cycle?

    i just came off a 250 mg of test a week and my face was red as hell. i went to the doctor for a checkup, and they said "great" wehn they took my bp, so im assuming that wasnt the problem. maybe stretchign of the skin

    try to limit your sodium intake and drink more fluids.

    the water retention is a factor in elevated bp for some.

    sometimes i'll use lasix on the days that are the worst with headaches and then not have to worry about it until the water comes back, but i would recommend you know how diuretics affect your body before trying that.

    daem... water retention is low right now.... i am taking nolva and l-dex as well as dandelion root extract (natural diuretic)... drinking 2 gallons of water a day and eat a clean, lean diet... im cutting, so sodium is low too... so i dont know..

    i guess i'll live with it

    Go to a grocery store and have your bp checked. 120/80 is textbook normal, up to 140/90 is still fine. Higher, check w/ a doc. Remember, machines rather than doctors can give you a lower number. You're not taking any Niacin, are you?

    Supermarket Blood Pressure machines are not acurate.
