135/70 isn't exactly life threatening.... high pulse rate cld be caused by anxiety...

I carry a semi high BP around with me on every cycle... Not a big deal for me as long as it returns to normal post cycle...

**bobio_69** · 05-17-2006, 10:11 PM

so my bp and my heart rate are common for being on cycle?

Your BP is a tad high. Certainly nothing to worry about. Normal HR varies from person to person (usually 70-100 bpm). Your fine. However, I would call into question the accuracy of those pharmacy BP machines. I can't even get my arm into them as most are for normal people (13-15 inches). So, if you had to struggle to get your arm into the cuff, then I would say have your BP checked at your doctor's office. A nurse will be glad to check it for free.

Bro - stop smoking first off! I don't get that - you want to build your body but you smoke? Do you do any cardio? That would help keep your pulse lower. 98 is on the upper side of where you want it.

You can donate some blood and this will immediately bring down your pressure. I would check your resting and working heart rates. I agree that it may be stress or food/drink effected.

Your BP is slightly elevated bro, but its nothing too major, i have experienced similar symptoms before when on cycle. Now i am during my time off everything has returned to normal.

I smoke also (weed) and found that adding in 3 - 5 cardio sessions per week helped my chest (lungs etc) and made me feel healthier. Only a suggestion tho.

Finally if you are stressed about your BP or HR and thinking about it a lot you will make it worse, as a friend of mine did when he was on a session (rare occurance, i am not a party animal anymore lol). Not to mention the elevated cortisol levels in your body.
