Is my bp too high to start cycle?

[Fireguy1990]

So 30 years old been blasting and cruising for years.
Been cruising on test for a year now and only blast during the summer for 3 months.

My bp has always been around this or even higher in past. Family has history of high bp.

Was dumb when I was younger and never went to Dr so now that I'm older I'm finally trying to get on top of it.

Bp average is usually around 150/90 sometimes less. Been seeing my Dr and I'm going to start taking a low dose bp med to help it starting this week.

I wanted to start my blast June 1st. Was going to do 300 test and 300 npp for 12 weeks with anavar the last 4 weeks.

Trying to keep doses moderate. You think I cam still do my blast and just monitor my bp closely and drop back to cruise. Hoping the bp meds help big time.

Just wondering what you guys think?
Thanks !

You need to get it under control first and foremost. It's a silent killer and the complications over time if you let it run high are very real. Use the medication and change your diet. Cut the salt out.

Once you get your BP under control maybe then you can consider gear, but certainly not before.

Exactly as HK said. Plus, your doc (and you) will want to see what effect the bp meds have. I'd wait to run the cycle in July at the earliest if you start the meds now....

If it makes you feel any better, I just started my cycle last week and had to end it after two shots. Blood results came in and weren't where I want them to be before running a cycle. Things happen, but health is always first. I know you wanna look good for the summer... just diet down a bit and run something in a month or so.

Thanks for reply. Other concern I had was my egf level which was 57. My creatinine was way above normal so assuming that has something to do with it as well since it's just an estimated measurement

Dr prescribed me 10 mg lisinoprol. Any of you guys on that?

I take 80 mg lisinopril a day and 25 mg atenolol.

You sure he prescribed you just 10? I didn't even think it came that low.

They start you off on a low dose and usually raise it until your BP goes down to a manageable level. He might add other meds to it too.

When I was on that stuff, I ended up getting this chronic cough that wouldn't ever go away. Day or night. The inside of my throat would itch so bad and the only relief was to cough. But I understand most people don't get that side effect.

I'm being prescribed Norvasc and Coreg. And it's got my BP in the 120 range. There's a lot of BP options out there and it takes some trial and error to find what will work best for you. One thing I would do is buy a blood pressure monitor and use it every day at the same time and keep a log of your BP. That way you can give your doctor more information and he can better decide what's best.

yes it is a good tier 1 ace inhibitor medication but if your BP is in the 150 range it is not strong enough to take to 120. My BP is in the 140 range with no medication. You will need Nifedipine added to keep normal while blasting most likely.

I've got kidney function problems too. I recently started a thread in the lounge about this very topic. I got some good responses and I think you would also benefit from reading it:

^^^ I can only echo the responses above. Have a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope (awkward if you're checking your own BP), an auto inflate type device, or I think some guys use one that goes on the wrist? I like my autoinflate cuff. Stay on top of your BP; it can cause so many issues, particularly your heart and kidneys, but there are other complications just as serious.

As mentioned above, you probably will have to go through an adjustment of your dosage or possibly switch to a different type of BP med. For me, the combo seems to be Coreg/carvedilol, Atacand/candesartan, and Maxzide( triamterene/hctz).

Put the cycle on hold for now until you get your BP in check. Once you do get stabilized and jump into a cycle, make doubly sure you monitor your BP. It's almost certain to increase.
Don't neglect the cardio and focus on adequate hydration.

You should wait a while for your doctor to think you're stabilized. Your kidney function should be something to worry about too. You really need to keep the BP down. You don't want to be on the transplant list.

Got recent bloods and egfr went up to 62 now since stopping my creatine supplement

For somebody who is 30, it should be up around 107. Look I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but need preserve your kidneys for as long as you can. I know doctors like to use meds to reduce BP in to the 120s, but ideally, you want it under 120. High blood pressure ruins kidneys over time.

Very good topic, learning a lot around here
