If you get High Blood Pressure during a cycle do you have to stop your cycle?

What should you do?

define high in the terms you are thinking

If I went up 20 points, I would definately stop personally

I haven't had it checked yet, but I have some symtoms. Numbness in legs and hands and I have got headaches and sh*t like that.

I was just wondering if it is high what will be my options?

if its steroid related, as in youve never had it till you went on cycle

i woudl consider adding/rasiing novladex, a very light sparring diuretic, such as dandelion root or maybe even a womans PMS water pill

Your always gonna get some raised blood pressure when on gear, you just have to try and minimise it. Like get ride of caffene, get plenty of sleep, you can even throw in an asprin each day.

Mine was as high as 170/100 while on cycle. I was put on Norvasc and it brought it down after several weeks.

You should not let your BP get out of hand. You should buy a home monitor, or go to the grocery store and use one of the monitors that some stores keep near the pharmacy.

If your BP gets out of hand you should either end your cycle, or get on medication.

If you have not been doing cardio, I highly recommend making sure that you are cardiovascularly in shape, with BP under control before starting your next cycle.

By themselves are inconclusive, but they are still possible symptoms for it and are good indicators.

These are certainly good indicators, but it is important to note that a person can have very high blood pressure or dangerously high blood pressure without any of these symptoms.

Do not assume that you're okay just because you feel fine. You should check yourself regularly while on cycle. The Omiron home BP montior is rated as one of the best and can be bought for $100-$200 depending on the model you buy.
