    if blood pressure is to high on cycle

    Can going to the doctors and getting prescribed tablets be one way to fix the situation?

    Would u be honest and tell the doctor you are on a cycle.

    Just wondering as a precaution if this does occur during my cycle.

    Do not tell the doctor you can get fuked big time with insurance: if its high just make an appointment and tell him it's high and he'll give you something. I hope you're doing a lot of cardio and have a clean diet that will help tremendously

    When he gets his bp tested there if its high the doctor will treat him, it's his job. You don't get bloodwork to test bp...

    I can get mine fairly easy without blood work if needed I'm fairly sure.

    Out of curiosity what's your cardio like, every day?

    if its only slightly elevated, you may not need any meds.

    If you just go to a Doctor and he sees you have high blood pressure he will give you medication. Even if he does blood tests they will be for Cholesterol.

    I use medication now because i had a compound fracture of the leg and still after removal of the steel plates have broken screws in the bone. I broke them off training. I can still squat and dead lift but not run. I am bigger, by choice and so I just check it every month.

    My doctor knows what I use as its legal here but had I not told him he would be unaware. Good luck . John

    If the op is running an oral kicker, then after a cholesterol check his levels would be out of whack causing suspicion.

    Most doctors will hand you a Rx for an ACE inhibitor or something without doing some huge workup to determine the root cause.
    Nearly all of us will develop hypertension at some point due to aging (if genetics, poor diet, stress, chronic disease, diabetes, or obesity don't cause it sooner), so they aren't going to worry much about what is causing it.

    This is good to know. I was wondering how to get around having to do blood work if I ran into a BP problem.
