High Blood Pressure-please help

**thunderin** · 12-09-2006, 02:12 AM

Went to do my blood work last night and my BP was 145/100. Which high blood pressure med seems to be the best for those on this board, daily dose and what if any side effects have you had.

I have already dropped my cycle doses low to test e (700mg ew), tren e (300mg ew) and anavar 75mg (ed).

Please help and thanks.

The diastolic (sp) is high i think....which also can be bad.

Have you tried Hawthorne Berry Extract? Its only an herbal supp., but for many, it works pretty well.

Don't go on hypertension medication while you are on juice. You'll certainly be overdosing the BP drugs when you come off and it goes down all by itself.

Mine also goes up a lot on TE and especially T+Deca . I fight this by:

Trying to get zero dietary salt
Fresh veggies / supplementary fiber
Garlic
CoQ10
Calcium and magnesium supplementation
and (shudder) cardio

It still gets too high (higher than yours), but comes back down to normal within 2-4 weeks of PCT. The above aren't drugs. They take a while to work, even in people not on AAS. Smart to start the anti-hypertension program a month or so before the cycle begins.

I will start cardio (hate it) and eliminate as much salt as possible. I already eats loads of garlic.

Does coffee up your BP?

Thanks

Yeah, diastolic pressure is very important, since your blood vessels are feeling this pressure the longest since systolic pressure is only right after the heart contracts. 100 would be something a doc would be concerned about.

Mine was high too, and my doc put me on benicar. It is an ace-inhibitor. If this is a chronic problem I would see a doc. The benicar fixed me up good. I take the larger dose of the two tabs offered and mine do not have a diuretic.
I would also wonder if you are controling your water retention during your cycle. Are you using any kind of anti-E? Water retention can cause high BP.

Yes or maybe or no. I've read a bunch of studies that coffee drinkers have higher BP on average than non-coffee drinkers, but I'd bet that your average coffee drinker is more likely to have a bad diet and poor health habits in general. The studes that show a BP rise used very small groups of subjects and were methodologically flawed. There are a few studies that show that the opposite is true, and these are published by NIH and other generally reliable outfits. Post-menapausal women, or that stopping does not reduce BP in men who have hypertension already, etc. Tricky to draw a general conclusion for all people from such specific experiments.

The short answer is that nobody knows. The general answer is that it depends on who paid for the study. As usual.

also...you have only mentioned taking one reading and also some readings can be altered in the doctor environment....yes the 100 sounds worst than the 145 but i would monitor it closely over the next week for sure and thereafter maybe check it a few times a day if you can....maybe some pharmacies nearby

Dyazide (sometimes spelled Diazide) is inexpensive, and works pretty well.

If you can't get it locally, you might be able to get some from an overseas pharmacy. Don't ask which one -- there are plenty to choose from after doing a Google search.
