    blood pressure???

    Ive been a liitle red the past few days. Looks like ive been tanning, but I haven't. When im in the gym i also seem to turn even more red. I'm currently on 750mg/wk of sust. Is this due to high blood pressure? Or what? If so should this be anything to worry about?

    There are plenty of places where you can get your blood pressure checked. I would def suggest doing that to see.

    personally I dont think redness in face has anything to do with high BP.. since ur system is in an "Accelerated" state this may make one hotter, and therefore "Flush" them red often or what have u...

    I got myself a blood pressur checker at home.

    I tend to come up a little high, around 140/75, but not "fall over dead" anytime high. That is Pre-Hypertensive high.

    When running orals I do go up into the hypertensive range. 170/90.

    I really should do more cardio, even when not on orals, and try to get down to 115/65, but at Pre-hypertensive 140/75 I am not too worried.

    It is something to keep an eye on however.

    High BP, IMHO is the MOST dangerous side effect of AAS, and the most important to monitor for.

    And every one is worried about thier balls shrinking. Guys, that is the last thing on the list of things to worry about with AAS.

    I dont get something thou.. Logically speaking, if U heart has to pump blood harder & faster thru ur body that means its working harder.. if its working harder then it should be getting stronger like any other muscle, right?? Strong heart = a good heart!!

    that is kind of double edged sword though. your heart is hollowed more or less so in order for blood to fill the ventricles they need to be large for proper filling (diastolic) if the walls of the heart increase in size (hypertrophy more or less) then the area for blood to fill in becomes smaller. or it could lead to decreased contractility(strethching) of the heart possibly causing diastolic dysfunction. while in most cases athletes will experience this hypertrophy it will return to normal but in some cases it does not and can lead to an enlarged heart. and this can cause severe problems down the road.
