High blood pressure: Test or AI ?

[Slacker78]

Hello bro,
i've read somewhere, that AIs ( Adex for example ) could cause sides effects as High Blood Pressure. Even Test/Steroids, could cause it. How is it possible to
distinguish if it's one ot the other ?

AI's lower your blood pressure (by reducing blood volume, mainly).
All steroids increase your blood pressure.
Not really a mystery.

So, why is this tell:

Side Effects of Arimidex:
Arimidex carries with it several possible side effects. Many of the side effects of Arimidex will be response related. Response side effects are common with all medications; some of us can take Aspirin while others can’t. The side effects of Arimidex will also vary depending on anabolic steroid use in a few specific areas. Those who are using Arimidex without anabolic steroids often report weakness and fatigue; in fact, this may be the most common side effect of Arimidex. Most anabolic steroid users will not have this issue with low dose Arimidex use. However, we can make an exception when it is used in hard cutting or competition cycles when calories are very low and training often extremely intense. Other possible side effects of Arimidex use include:

Headache
Hot Flashes
High Blood Pressure
Joint Pain
Depression (rare)
Nausea and or Vomiting (rare)

Every medications has hypotension and hypertension listed as possible side effects. When they do a drug trial, if anyone happens to develop any symptom, it often gets listed as a possible side effect, regardless of what actually caused it or whether it was pre-existing (which is why many drugs have the exact condition that they treat listed as a side effect).
Also, those side effects are from women being treated for breast cancer, so who knows what else was going on in their bodies.

I love trenover, no issues with BP, though I keep an eye on this.

I'm on TRT 200mg/wk and my BP's normally 110/65. When I'm on a Tren cycle it goes up a bit to 125/80. Still within "normal" range.

I'd say it's typically the AAS not the AI

AI'S have always helped me reduce my BP by reducing bloat.

No. Hematocrit is the percent make up of solids (red cells) in your blood. Reducing the plasma volume would lower actual blood volume, but thicken your blood even further.

Bona is dead on as usual. One of the side effects of a BP med I take is a runny nose and sore throat. Probably someone had sinus drainage during the trials and that got reported as a side effect.
