    Unusually high blood pressure

    I am trying to figure out what is going on with my body. I checked my BP today and I was 153/85. Last year off cycle I was 118/70. I am 51 and compete in BB.
    Last years bulk cycle was dbol and test/ deca at 600/750 (. I was about 130/75 on cycle)I am presently on cycle with tbol (finished 2 weeks ago) ant test/deca at 200/600. I am at about 13% bf. I am also injecting ed to try and keep my levels even.
    I just gave blood earlier this week because my hematocrit was at the max level.
    The only diffference from last year to this year is the change from dbol to tbol in bulk and I started TRT self prescribed(200 mg/week off cycle). Endo said risk of using testosterone was too great and offered no solution to my symptoms.
    I have also noticed that with my cardio I am abnormally short on breathe.
    I think that this is a rhetorical question, but what should I do about the BP?

    If you're 'trying to figure out what's wrong with your body' maybe you should stop self diagnosing yourself.

    Test raises your hemocrit and that can cause high BP, probably some of the risks your doctor was trying to tell you about.

    Stop your cycle, start pct and donate blood when you can again. If you are short of breath go to a hospital.

    L-arginine can help. Look into it and dose it according to bodyweight along with a low dose asprin per day.
    Eca can fuck you up especially if you take it like i do.
    I eould advise staying away from eca if you are having bp issues.

    Well there are certain things that you just cannot reveal to the Dr. Which is the reason for asking here. I tried not to make the post too long but there are missing details.
    I understand the effects of AAS on BP which is why off cycle I am less than 120 normally.
    I guess I may have exagerated with a shortness of breathe. I am bulking so the additional weight may play a part, but my endurance is not like it used to be.
    The endo obviously was against TRT. I had test levels of 170 which is way lower than the min. When I was out of the country, I did have another Dr. Prescribe TRT and I am sure that I could get TRT at a TRT clinic but I lost 3 months of competition prep trying to get TRT and the initital testing after TRT would screw up my competition prep.

    Thanks OBS. I stopped ECA after cutting for my last competition. I try not to get my body used to it so when I need the effects, they are there.
    I guess I go and see the Doc this week. I have read other advice here to go and see the doc without stopping cycle. I am using long esthers so I either wait or go this week.
    I feel fine, until I saw my BP. Then it started going higher.

    I dunno... I checked it at walmart and the kiosk arm cuff isn't big enough so I gotta shove my arm in the steel band and that pisses me off, so it may be a fluke. Also, being at Walmart pisses me off. Also I have to drive to walmart, people on tge road, they really piss me off...

    There is a conspiracy at work. Most people are in on it. It's like "The Truman Show" except they are all trying to piss me off.

    You sound like me, as I navigate the sea of Walmart whales with beetus feet, rolling around on their Rascals.

    250mg of ephedrine. Over the course of a couple hours doesnt help.
