BP and Giving Blood
I am currently on cycle (4 weeks in) and I am just curious what I should do about the whole BP and giving blood situation. I am on accutane and they won't accept my blood so I don't know where/how I should handle this. Ideas?

They won't accept your blood because you answered "yes" to one of the questions. So you should have answered "no" to all questions.
Get a CBC panel pulled and if your hematocrit is too high, ask a doctor for a prescription to have a therapeutic phlebotomy performed.
Keep hydrated and keep vessels dilated with Cialis or Arginine and the likes.~ PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR SOURCE CHECKS ~

They told me they check for 26 diseases but they never said anythign about testosterone or other. I'm totally with you regarding how unethical it is to give blood when you're on accutane.

So if I'm understanding this thread correctly.
I just gave blood...I did slack 9n this during my last cycle. BP had been high since and during the cycle which is expected especially with a tren run.
Been almost a week since blood given. Everything is still high for me. 150ish/85ish. Give or take.higher or lower by a few any given day.
Going for bloods soon too...should I add cbc panel to check everything out?

Yes, I would always get a CBC panel. CBC and CMP are two panels I always get, everytime I get blood work, regardless of the reason.

Hypertension is no joke. I had a hypertensive crisis a few months ago that left me partially blind. Get that shit checked and under control.

They put me on BP meds which is fine, but I felt fine they don't call it the silent killer for no reason

A ruptured blood vessel causing anterior epistaxis will get your attention quickly. People think it won't happen to them, but these events can range from mild to serious. I was asymptomatic for 4 days, then one night this week, my nose started bleeding profusely and would not stop. I checked my BP: 178/87.
A BP north of 190 is a STROKE risk.
This is why I continually stress to these young guys worried about "man boobs".....be more concerned about the events you DON'T see. They can be far more life threatening than a pair of unpleasant titties.

Holy crap I had you both beat. When I hit the crisis my BP was 220/120 now even on meds the doctors are happy I'm around 140/80. That was OFF cycle. Think it might have been a bunch of the legal OTC supplements.
If I was 220/120 and ran tren could you imaging what would have happened??
Btw I'm always going to have hbp I inherited it from my mom. No clue I had hypertension and I have ran aas while not knowing. I'm a damned lucky guy to still be here fully functional. Well the eye sight is still on the mend. Blood pressure is no joke get that shit checked.

A few years ago I was on a different medication to manage my ADD and once at the Dr my BP was 170-120. That was at 16 years old. High BP is some scary stuff. My grandfather had his first of 5 heart attacks at the age of 42 so my heart is something I'm always watching.

I gave blood recently. Hemoglobin was "perfect" but they do not check hematocrit, which is a percentage. Also, at first, they said my blood pressure was high. I requested a larger cuff. The lady at first refused, "this one fits," but then relented. With the large cuff my blood pressure was miraculously normal.
Squats less than 24 hours later were brutal, however.
