high blood pressure

[motoxposse]

stats 43 yrs old, 206lbs, 12%bf,strong diet,hard core trainer dc rest pause.
my personal trainer/diet lady keeps track of my food, bf%, muscle %, also does my vitals.
my blood pressure is starting to rise today 133/97. im using 600mg test c per week,10mgs nolva, and im just starting my 7th week at this does. this is my 4th cycle over a 2year time frame.
my question i cant find any info stating high blood pressure as a side effect? is it a side effect you have knowlege of. if so what do you recommend ?

Your BP isnt that bad, I have seen far worse.

Increased BP will cause kidney issues (impaired function).

You should also be using an AI (Aromasin 10mg/ED), not Tamox 10mg/ED on cycle. Using the AI and brining down estrogen may actually help lower BP as well.

I wouldn't worry at 133/97 but plenty of vitamins help. Flaxseed antioxidants ginger omegas. List goes on.. some go to doctor to get pills. And to answer question. Mine goes up just a little on test only. Other compounds alot

[motoxposse]

ok thanks

mine is a little high and my doc put me on 800mg Magnesium. Brought it down but its still running in the 138s/80s doc would like to see 115ish/80<less

Definitely keep an eye on it. Mine went to 170/(I forget) last time and I had to cut my plans short to deal with the problem. High BP is not to be messed with.

How often and where do you get your BP checked while on cycle? Surely those machines at CVS pharmacy are not the most accurate things. Or are they?

[gearbox]

Many including myself have there own bp machines small ones u buy at the store. I check on cycle every day almost. Off once a week

[JohnnyVegas]

^^^^ Yeah, they are pretty cheap. I own one now that I have had a problem with high BP.

[EASTCOASTKID]

the machines are pretty accurate or at least the ones I use at CVS etc....

That diastolic number is concerning. And increased bp is a side effect of every AAS. Definitely introduce an AI. Hawthorne berry extract and even daily cialis would be good as well.

[JimmySidewalk]

Do those electronic BP measuring wrist machines really work ? I have a cardiologist buddy who told me those things arent too reliable and the only way to get the most accurate BP measure is to use that thing that they wrap around your arm with the little pump and pressure gauge along with a stetoscope.

[Todd the truth]

Yep accurate more so than a human oscultating with a sphignomanometer!!! The systolic top number is accurate the MAP is even more accurate, and the diastolic is estimated. New AHA guidelines say under 120/80.

sphignomanometer

Bonaparte introduced me to that word recently. It is absolutely one of my favorites!

Using an AI during the cycle can help reduce bloat and water retention which will help lower your BP.

No way. No BP machine can match a trained ear with a decent stethoscope.

[Todd the truth]

I use a dynamap every ,3 minutes for 12 - 16 hour shifts on critical patients that I'm anesthetizing and with proper cuff sizing and pla***ent they are dead on with invasive direct radial arterial line pla***ent, eliminates variability of stethoscope bell pla***ent, human hearing limitations, and acute differences in human auditory acuity. This is stated in ASA guidelines, and also mechanized, standardized non-invasive pressures hold more weight in court than human auscultations.

[Todd the truth]

I'm tried half heartedly to find 2012 guidelines but didn't feel like reading them right now. If you are using the same machine or the same trained person that is better than using different machines each time or different people each time. Humans prob still considered Gold standard but automated dynamaps that directly measure MAP have been FDA, JACHO, approved since I entered healthcare profession in 1989.

[Bonaparte]

Ok, well maybe your Dynamap is awesome, but all the hospital and EMS (lifepack) automated cuffs I've used gave much more erratic readings than auscultation.
