Blood Pressure Help

**reelnsnook** · 12-23-2011, 05:32 PM

Been checking my blood pressure a few times a week and I am now into my 6 th week of my cycle and for the last two weeks my bp has been around 154 over 95 with pulse at 108. I'm 28 and have not had blood pressure issues before is this normal or should I be worried and stop my cycle?

What are you taking? High BP is a side of most AAS, it will go back down after your cycle. Deca , EQ and Tren all give me high BP. Also, how did you check your BP? on the drugstore machines?

What support supplements are you taking?

I'm using Test E 500mg per week. Yes, I am using the drug store machine. I am taking Hawthorne Berry and baby aspirin.

I took 325mg of bayer everyday and it took my red face away and my blood pressure down. not sure how standard that is, but it worked for me.

Happens to me everytime I'm on cycle, i'm borderline anyways. Increased water retention and weight gain will do that for ya. Also watch your caffeine intake, it can really sneak up on you. I take 100mg of grapeseed extract every day and it has helped my BP tremendously. Good luck.

That would be aspirin. Bayer is the manufacturer.

Get an AI to decrease estrogen. I have had success with hawthorne berry extract. Get a BP monitor and take it after you relax at home.

wondering if you guys wouldn't recommend taking any pre-work out supplements with AAS, like NO or anything like that? i am asking because they have a lot of caffeine.

i finally gave up and started taking Bp meds when I cycle. i stop taking when off cycle, and blood pressure is fine. but you have to be careful, even though bp may come down after cycle, you still need to control it when on cycle. if you can't do it naturally, take the bp meds.

Well, after a mixture of aspirin, grapeseed extract, and hawthorne berry my blood pressure is 140/76 and I am feeling a lot better!

**reelnsnook** · 12-27-2011, 10:26 AM

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

What was your BP before taking all of that? The systolic is still high, but your diastolic looks good. Also, if you have bigger arms make sure the cuff you're using is extra large, this can have an effect on readings also.

How much did you take of each product ? Still using it?

High blood pressure is common with cycling. However... your resting heart rate is way too fast. So, I'd sugest you to talk about this to your GP. Good luck!
