Current cycle and my BP Too high?
I finished Deca 400mg a couple of weeks ago, I am on Winny 100mg eod and Test Prop 125mg eod. I checked my blood pressure and it is fairly consistently at 130-140 over 83-93. Is that too high or normal for what I am taking??? Thanks for any help. I did a search but could not find anything specifically addressing my question.
Thanks again.

That's pretty high, even for what you are using. Keep an eye on it, and if it raises (or doesn't drop) I'd get it checked by a doc.

I would worry about it if it doesnt drop within a few weeks of going off.

I agree..........135/85 is considered high/normal. So I think you'll bne fine when you finish up.Originally Posted by Maldorf

i wouldn't be too worried, i just took mine and i'm reading 131/81 which is only a few points lower than yours and i'm not on anything. Whats your average when not cycling?

High BP cut off is 140/90. On cycle it can go to 150/100. Anything above that is of concern.

might want to try donating some blood. elevated blood count might be bringing that bp up. even if it's not, occasional blood donation has other health benefits anyway.

Bro. check out the New high BP stats with your doc as far as Medical board and CDC...normal is 110 over 70....Yours with many docs today would be considered on the high side...how old are you??

What Is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Both numbers are important.
Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. The good news is that it can be treated and controlled.
High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it usually has no symptoms. Some people may not find out they have it until they have trouble with their heart, brain, or kidneys. When high blood pressure is not found and treated, it can cause:
The heart to get larger, which may lead to heart failure.
Small bulges (aneurysms (AN-u-risms)) to form in blood vessels. Common locations are the main artery from the heart (aorta); arteries in the brain, legs, and intestines; and the artery leading to the spleen.
Blood vessels in the kidney to narrow, which may cause kidney failure.
Arteries throughout the body to "harden" faster, especially those in the heart, brain, kidneys, and legs. This can cause a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or amputation of part of the leg.
Blood vessels in the eyes to burst or bleed, which may cause vision changes and can result in blindness.
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats (about 60–70 times a minute at rest), it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic (sis-TOL-ik) pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is the diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressure.
Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Both are important. Usually they are written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 mmHg (measured in millimeters of mercury, a unit for measuring pressure). When the two measurements are written down, the systolic pressure is the first or top number, and the diastolic pressure is the second or bottom number (for example, 120/80). If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say that it is "120 over 80."
Blood pressure changes during the day. It is lowest as you sleep and rises when you get up. It also can rise when you are excited, nervous, or active.
Still, for most of your waking hours, your blood pressure stays pretty much the same when you are sitting or standing still. That level should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. When the level stays high, 140/90 mmHg or higher, you have high blood pressure. With high blood pressure, the heart works harder, your arteries take a beating, and your chances of a stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems are greater.
What Is Normal Blood Pressure?
A blood pressure reading below 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. In general, lower is better. However, very low blood pressure can sometimes be a cause for concern and should be checked out by a doctor.
Doctors classify blood pressures under 140/90 mmHg as either normal or prehypertension.
Normal blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg.
Prehypertension is blood pressure between 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number. For example, blood pressure readings of 138/82, 128/89, or 130/86 are all in the prehypertension range. If your blood pressure is in the prehypertension range, it is more likely that you will end up with high blood pressure unless you take action to prevent it.
What Is High Blood Pressure?
A blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure. Both numbers are important. If one or both numbers are usually high, you have high blood pressure.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure and have repeated readings in the normal range, you still have high blood pressure.
There are two levels of high blood pressure: stage 1 and stage 2 (see the chart below).
Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults (in mmHg, millimeters of
mercury)a
Category Systolic (top number) Diastolic (bottom number)
Normal Less than 120 Less than 80
Prehypertension 120–139 80–89
High blood pressure
Stage 1 140–159 90–99
Stage 2 160 or higher 100 or higher
a For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure; are not having a short-term serious illness; and do not have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.
Note: When systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should be used to classify blood pressure level. For example, 160/80 mmHg would be stage 2 high blood pressure.
There is an exception to the above definition of high blood pressure. A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

yea, i've been to my doc twice for concern but both times he pretty much wrote me off... said it was cause i'm training and under alot of stress from classes. I've bumped heads with him before and i went out and got a BP monitor since then. My last 100 readings average out to be 128/71 (It keeps track for you) and i know its on the high side, but i think my doc is a tool. I should prolly look for a new one. Ya, and also young as hell, 21.
