Will blood letting reduce my bp

[MuscleInk]

If I'm correct blood is blue until it hits o2

Halfway correct. Blood IS red but most blood in arteries is oxygenated vs blood in veins which is often deoxygenated. Medical/physiology books use blue vs red to differentiate deoxygenated from oxygenated blood.

Man I'd freak the hell out if I saw myself bleed blue blood

My skin is green.....but only when I get angry.

My skin is red all the time. Guess I should stop mainlining my oils. Lol

Sometimes when I go number 2, it's green. Then I pee in it, which is yellow. And everything just turns blue.

I would imagine that fish oil would help as well. I used to take plenty extra of it, in the week prior to a tattoo session, believing that it would help my skin, and recovery. My artist would often comment on how much I bled, and how it would slow him down. One day, I got to thinking, and eliminated the fish oils, and omega's, prior to a session. I said nothing to my artist, but he noticed the difference right away! My blood was markedly thicker, and that, and subsequent sessions, were much more productive, with the tattoo gun not having to compete with the blood flow!

Sry but it's a Tattoo machine, we don't use guns to inject ink lol

To op. I hope everything turns out fine for you. I thought it's a little strange that your bp is only high after completing the cycle. Blood letting is a treatment for high rbc not high bp. Things might improve but this is not conventional treatment. Check your blood count and bp soon and see a doctor if things are not perfect. Good luck.

That is pretty awesome filling a SmartWater bottle with blood lol. Makes it live up to the marketing claims of nutrients in it. haha jk.

Unfortunately donating/blood letting is not a cure for hypertension. The causes are many and quite complex. In general, the decrease in edema or water bloat characteristic of some AAS will lower blood pressure. [Which Im guessing is your problem?] We want to do this by taking anti-estrogens, lowering dosages, etc as opposed to lasix or water pills. Dehydrating will work, but that is both ill-advised medically and counter to our training goals.

I have a dr appointment next week to get blood work and an opinion
I will be getting back into running shortly should help
Side note I don't like running on cycle

[dawgskin]

Blood letting sounds like a medieval ritual haha
If u don't like running why not just sit ur ass on the excersize bike? That's what I do a lot

[mikey hulk]

I like running just not on cycle

That's an excellent point I meant to make. Blood donation can reduce bp if the cause of high bp is simply due to elevated rbc but there are many other causes of elevated bp and blood donation does not directly lower bp.
