1st-Theraputic phlebotomy has to be Dr. prescribed.
2nd- If you have high blood pressure your heart is working hard. When you give blood your heart pumps harder to circulate blood. The reason they turned you away is so you didnt go into cardiac arrest on the donor bed.
To Tia, If you had asked why I am sure the phlebotomist would have explained it to you.![]()
That's funny, since giving blood is the only way to reduce RBC, which is a major cause of high BP when using AAS. Giving blood (or undergoing phlebotomy) is practically necessary when running Anadrol or EQ, which both cause a huge increase in RBC. If your blood has turned to sludge from excess RBC, draining off a portion of it will thin it out and make it easier for your heart to pump it. Also, I have heard of blood donation centers offering phlebotomies for $50 to lower RBC in order to donate blood, but I don't know where this was.

You are right about blood centers taking blood if you have a high red cell count. Your wrong about the blood pressure part. When your body produces a large number of blood cells, unless its chemically induced its caused by either hemachromatosis OR polycythemia. Now Hemachromatosis can be transfused, polycythemia cant. SO ya any random day you can go down and give blood to lower your red cell count. However you cant go down and do a therapeutic.
If you are thinking of donating to lower your RBC you should do a procedure that is called 2RBC. It takes double the amount of red cells and returns all of your plasma back to you. Plasma is 90% water.
Also just as a heads up there is a question on the questionnaire about injecting. If you do or have, and dont intend to lie. It wont be worth your time to go down there.
No need to be such a defensive ass, she was just shining light on therapeutic phlebotomy. Also water retention is another variable for hypertension from anadrol and other compounds, rather than just an increase in RBC. Besides your body will just pump out more RBC's to get back up to its norm by the end of the week anyways and you will just have to donate blood again every 5-7 days.
Thanks guys, it looks like the AAS must be causing it. Gave me a little relief. =)
