Best Medication for Steriod induced high Blood Pressure

[Fit N Fun]

Hi Guy's,

When on cycle I always get an increase in my blood pressure accompanied by reddening of the face and sweats, which is I know pretty standard for many.

My blood pressure last night was 140 / 84 so not huge, but given that it is normally low I would like to get it down a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolic_steroid for a bit of reading.

I am guessing there is a standard mechanism going on with steroids Test & Deca and Test & Tren in my case that causes the increase.

My question is which medication would be most suited to lowering your blood pressure while on cycle.

My stats are 56 years old, 190 lbs 13% body fat, play squash, run, walk about 25 miles a week and lift weights once or twice a week.

Thanks

If you have serious issues then any ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers and thiazide diuretics medications will solve them..

Do you use an AI during cycling?

Marcus,

Thanks for the link, great read and some interesting posts too.

I do not use an AI on cycle, I also know that it will all calm down again when I am off cycle which will be fairly soon, just seem to be sweating a bit more easily and my face is more red than normal along with the slightly raised blood pressure.

Think I have some Aromasin or Arimidex at home though, so I could take an AI if that is the best option.

Saw a reference to the following ACE inhibitors which I can get, but no idea which might be best:- Lisinopril, Vasotec, Monopril, Aceon, Accupril, Altace. Am keen to try some to see how/if it works.

Bought some Hawthorn Berry containing 2% Vitexin this morning to see what that does, but no idea how long it might take to have an effect.

Your input is much appreciated.

Thanks

If you try using an AI on cycle this will reduce the bloat and will have a direct impact on your bp, defo worth trying my friend, best of luck and let me know how you get on.

Marcus,

Checked my stash at home and got some Aromasin ( Exemestane ) 25mg and some Arimidex ( Anastrozole ) 1mg.

Will take Exemestane 1 x 25mg for a few days and see what happens.

Thanks for your input.

Much appreciated

Marcus,

Took Aromasin ( Exemestane ) 25mg for just over a couple of weeks and my blood pressure dropped, no more red face after light exercise.

Stopped taking for a few days and back the high blood pressure comes, so clearly Exemestane works like you said it would.

Took my last pin 10 days ago, so will take on odd days as the system adjusts back to a life without AAs.

Thanks for the great advice.
