    Will blood letting reduce my bp

    Hey guys just finished up my cycle of test deca 500mg/week of each
    And my blood pressure has jumped way up to 150/80 70bpm on cycle it's only 120/80 50bpm

    Will blood letting help reduce some pressure while my body readjusts to normality ?
    Thanks

    Have you had blood work done to determine if this practice is even necessary?

    Hardcore indeed. Wouldn't catch me doing it on myself. I've drawn blood from the jugular. Good times there and it flows like a river - but I wasn't the patient!! Lol

    I do it at an oncology clinic. Been doing it at home lately but this one gave me trouble. You need a doctor to prescribe a therapeutic phlebotomy when you're unable to donate blood for whatever reason. Many blood donation centers will do this for you. You just have to call and verify before you head over there. There's generally a small fee.

    No. Unless you're a smurf, your blood is red. Different lighting and seeing a color through the skin will change red to blue or green. Merely a perception.

    Blood is always red.

    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!
