    I have been using Quinapril Tablets for long time as prescribed. Consult your doctor first.

    As mentioned, blood thinners and blood pressure medications are not the same. Blood thinners work on things like Factor X and II such as heparinoids while blood pressure medications work on systemic arterial pressure or blood volume. These things must be taken into account on a cycle so you must know what medications you are taking and what effects will occur if you discontinue them. What are you taking, how much, how often, what is your baseline blood pressure? these questions must be addressed pre-cycle.

    I take 10 mg. Lysinapril daily for mild HBP. As well as supplements to help. When I cycle Tren or Deca my BP still gets elevated. But I have never had a problem with drug interaction.

    I take Lisinopril also, and have never had a problem with drug interaction while cycling. However my BP does get elevated when I cycle Tren and Deca .

    Here is a link with high blood pressure medications: Types of Blood Pressure Medications

    Heart.org also has a lot of easy to understand information about blood pressure and more heart conditions.

    You want a ACE inhibitor or a angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), they will have the least side effects and are pretty effective for the objective here.
    Personnaly I use a ARB (irbesartan) when on cycle the blood pressure pops up.
    Have to say that it happenend more on my first cycles, when maybe my e2 management was not perfect, either that or my body adapted to the steroids .

    You only use this medication when you have the high blood pressure, coming off with no problem at end of cycle or when blood pressure is not high anymore. The situation of permanent use of high BP meds occurs when you have a permanent condition causing it, here its a temporary (cycle) condition thats leads to the high BP, being perfectly allright to come off.

    This does not reduce other dangers like high hematocrit which carry fatal risks like embolisms.

    Great forum, keep becoming aware of new info each week. I've been following different threads about BP and meds (like Cilalis).

    Is HBP something that is related to the higher doses associated with cycling? It sounds like everyone posting is on it always, including PCT - is this because of the AAS or is it just because you have HBP (like millions of others)?

    I'm only on TRT at 150mg. not noticing anything yet, also haven't caught this issue in any of the TRT books I've read as well.

    Appreciate the input guys, soaking up your knowledge and experience like a sponge, thanks!

    Cialis is a great drug (lol) but is not a high BP med. It might have a mild effect on blood pressure but expecting it to lower BP significatly will not happen.

    High BP might be cause from an arrays of things, high androgens, high E2, water retention, high rbc and hematocrit, even elevated metabolism, etc
    Many times multiple of this variables come together and the body is not able to compensate causing the high BP.

    There are plenty other non-steroid causes for the hBP, as we know many older ppl are on this meds. The drugs dont cure the high BP they simply treat it.

    Why don't you go and see your Dr?

    Has your blood pressure been high since you last posted about it many months ago?

    Have you had a test at all since you started a cycle 2 or so years ago?

    What is your current AAS consumption?

    So you blasted consistently for about 14-16 months or so then had a rest for 1 month at a higher than TRT dose of test? Is that right?

    Enalapril 5mg at am and pm should be fine it is ACE. Very beneficial for heart blood flow and bp control on cycle.

    Can we please stop using HBP? It's HTN (hypertension).

    HBP looks like you confused BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia).
