Blood pressure question for aas?

[Leezygeezer]

Hi guys
I recently ran a course of 30mg dianabol for 3 weeks then did 1ml of ttm a week for two weeks and 2ml for another 5.
So a ten week cycle in total, I was going to do 10 weeks of Ttm but had to stop. I noticed towards the end of the cycle that I seemed to be gasping for breath for no reason. I have a bp monitor at home and took it one night it was 185/112. It's safe to say I pretty much shit my pants and stopped the Ttm immediately.
That was 4 weeks ago, I am currently into week 2 of pct and my bp is still only down to 170/90 despite being prescribed some bp pills and taking them for 3 weeks.

So my questions are :-
How long after finishing a cycle does bp return to normal?
Does pct affect bp? (2 more weeks to go)
Which aas have a lesser effect on bp?

I'm considering running another cycle but don't wanna keel over with a brain haemorrhage, stroke or heart attack. Incidentally while on the aas, I noticed massive strength gains and significantly increased muscle mass. Plus a massive boost in libido, the wife is loving it my old niggling injuries have disappeared and even 4 weeks after finishing the sex drive is still ok, every day at age 46 ain't too bad I think. I have some cialis for when the urge goes away which it most likely will, I have noticed a tapering off over the last week.

Anyway your thoughts would be appreciated

1) It can take some time. Nobody can give you a precise answer.
2) Not really.
3) The ones that aren't very androgenic or cause water retention. Primo is the mildest.
I assume TTM is test, tren, and masteron? If so, that's going to be rough on your BP and pulmonary system (mostly because of the Tren).

Had you monitored your bp beforehand? Bodybuilding on its own is a stress on the body and can increase BP. A regime of cardio diet and medication can easily control it.

Yep, many factors. Body fat is a big one. Along with estrogen levels and of course diet. Steroids can increase BP, mainly if the issues above are not addressed. My last cycle was test p and npp @ 700mg each a week. BP was 110/70.

What is your body fat % and did you even use anything to control aromatase?

I have been watching my BP before I have started aas

My BP before cycling was 12x/7x

After my 1st cycle it was 13x/78-9

Now I can barely keep it at under 152-4/8-4 I take 10ml of Cialis a day

Thanks for the quick response, I thought it might be a case of different for everyone, I was just looking for a ballpark figure really I guess

The Ttm was test, tren, mast at 100mg/ml

As for my bp history, apparently I suffer from stress related bp, don't ask me how because I don't feel stressed at all. It was down to the 140/80 mark after I started gym and I was controlling it through diet and a significant reduction in salt intake which I still do. The tool of a doctor I went to see told me my BMi is 31% which was as a direct result of weight to height ratio, also he didn't even test my bp on the day I went so its safe to say I shall not be using his services again! If he had done bodyfat tests with skin callipers etc I might have had more belief in him.
I didn't run any ai during the cycle due to the low dosage levels but had some nolva ready in case of nipple problems, can ais also reduce bp?

I plan to wait 4-6 weeks after my pct ends to recheck bp and see what my baseline figure is before I consider anything else, I suppose if it hasn't changed any ill have to leave it longer still. Since coming off cycle I have lost some body fat as I have slightly reduced my caloric intake and eat healthy for the most part apart from the odd cheat meal.
I don't drink or smoke either so thought I was relatively healthy.

I guess I'll have to wait and monitor things so I can see how it pans out

Thanks again
