[rabidsquirrel]

dam* that sucks. guess your better now since your typing to us

[ebjack]

i'm suprised you didn't have a stroke with those numbers.
glad you didn't

[nbkandrew13]

yeah thats exactley what they said i was right at stroke level dr was real cool though they did a cat scan a chest xray blood tests , all negative for any drugs but the dr came in alone and said you and i know what your taking so that means u really need to take your bp meds. i just laughd he said you can probly give a shot better than most nurses.

[nbkandrew13]

oh yeAH that was right before i moc=ved back to my home city of austin tx

You should think about getting your own machine and keeping track of BP at home. I have to check mine every day, especially while on a cycle and adjust my meds accordingly.

[Pooks]

That sounds rough bro...

and not even one thought for a lifestyle change.. thats hardcore!

[nbkandrew13]

pooks no doubt im a recovering drug addict 4yrs and i think im paying for the sins of the past. thanks

Im glad yer alright bro. I take thyroid meds (synthroid) 200 mcgs/day. Since this last cycle I started feeling lethargic and having all the symptoms of hypothyroidism again. I went to get blood work today, I asked the doctor if me gaining 10-12 lbs of muscle could alter the required amount of meds I need to treat the illness. He said it is quite possible. Just something to remember bro, if you go and put on a bunch of muscle you may require higher doses of meds to get the same effect.

[HardcoreMuscleJunkie]

Can I ask? How old are you, whats your physical condition, and what does your cycle look like? I am asking because I take bp meds (atenolol 100mg a day w/diretic). I am overweight (fat and alot of muscle), and my bp was 160/100 before I got on the meds. My DR told me if I lost 60 lbs I probably wouldnt need the meds. I dont know if this is the story with you but I am just trying to compare our situations.

[Benches505]

Damn brother! you need to take better care of yourself.

What are you currently on?

the only problem i have with the home kits is that the large cuff is only 17 inches. does anyone know if they have larger ones like in a docs office?

[nbkandrew13]

They make them where they go around your forearm, plus they do make them with bigger cuffs for fat people.
