HELP- Var only, I have High BP

[MSB]

So im 13 days into 40mg ed Anavar only cycle, I am taking creatine CEE too. I went to the doc today for a checkup, no bloodwork yet, and when he took my blood pressure he was pretty surprised. My number was 168/108. I have never had high bp. He asked if I was taking anything, so I told him just creatine. He told me It is metabolized in the kidney and that it could cause me high BP if it was straining the kidneys. Now I know Anavar is metabolized in the kidneys too. He told me to stop the creatine and come back in a week. Could the Var/Creatine combo be doing this?? I know var isnt supposed to cause high BP? Should I stop the Creatine? or the Var? He had a funny look on his face, and now I am quite nervouse? Is this normal? Any advice? this is also my first time using any AAS.

both can elevate blood pressure. did yur doctor suggest anything other then stop the creatine?

are you taking any support supps?

[Necrosaro]

They are going to be up till you are done the cycle. I don't think there is any real way around this?

[MSB]

he said that at my age it should not be that high, and i'v never had a problem before. He just said to stop and come back in a week. I am taking cycle support from annabolic innovations, these are the ingredients.
Red Yeast Rice 1200 mg
Silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract) 1000 mg

ive got high bp too...mostly it's from genetics. find out if your parents and relatives have high bp. u might just be genetically predisposed to high bp. i im on high bp meds.

my father has high bp and is on meds for it, but I am young. From what I read on Anavar it's not supposed to elevate BP is it? how bad really is 168/108, this was also after resting for several minutes.

[operationgetbig]

im young too only 24. have u done any other cycles

[MSB]

no this is the first time i'v used any AAS, but they say Var isnt known to do this. I guess I will stop the creatine, and see if that helps any.

For starters, I'd increase your celery seed extract dosage, as well as your hawthorne berry extract. How much water are you drinking daily? I'd also increase your daily potassium intake, and maybe add in some garlic bulbs and fish oil. Five grams of fish oil a day should help.

[peachfuzz]

anavar can cause high blood pressure. just about any steroid can

[bulldawg_28]

Btw, I just checked out your diet in your log. It looks to me like it's extremely high in saturated fats and sodium. Both of these will increase your BP. I'd change up your diet as well as do what I mentioned above.
