Blood pressure constantly between 140-150-160

[wango]

So ive been on testosterone for like a month + now. At first i got paranoid because of the blood pressure but then at one point i just stopped giving a fuck. I feel okei, nothing wrong with me at all. BUt if i measure my blood pressure its always between 140 -150. Sometimes when ive been active its even 160 + but usually if i sit down for abit it will fall to like 159 atleast. This is probably because of the testosterone, should I be worried? Is that high blood pressure for whole 12 week cycle bad for health and should i get some BP medication or something OR if its only while on cycle and doesnt go much over 160 usually then am i just fine and can ride it out? I wanna be as safe as possible. But getting BP medication is abit hassle also i need to get prescribtion and I wanna do that only if necessary.

What is the lower number (diastolic)?

Are you taking the BP multiple times during the day to see a possible pattern?

Are you using caffeine, energy drinks, nicotine or any other stimulants?

Does high BP run in your family?

What was your BP on average for many years prior to using gear?

BTW you don’t fuck with high blood pressure, but it will definitely fuck you.

Diastolic i think is always within normal range. Right now, i just came home after a day of physical labour, i measured 152 / 71 .

Latelly I stopped measuring it because it only makes me stress more. I took every day morning and evening though like 3 weeks ago or so and it was like i sayd, 135-160 always.

I dont take any stimulants or nothing, i dont drink alcohol, i dont smoke / take drugs and i dont drink energy drinks. I drink probably 2-4 cups of medium strong coffee a day.

ABout high blood pressure in family. Dont all old people have high blood pressure? My grandmother takes some BP pills sometimes and father too but they are pretty old.

Beginning of this year, i felt abit dizzy for a week and i thought maybe it was blood pressure so I measured it for a week. It was always perfect 120-s. Always when ive measured in past its been perfect. But basically after my first testo shot blood pressure jumped to 140ish. Maybe its a coincidence. But will be interesteing to see when i finish this cycle and stop the test will it go back to normal again

Try to measure it at consistent times during the day, but not after activity. First thing in the morning WITHOUT coffee, might be difficult at work obviously, but in the evening after resting &calming yourself after a long day.

I dont take any stimulants or nothing, i dont drink alcohol, i dont smoke / take drugs and i dont drink energy drinks. I drink probably 2-4 cups of medium strong coffee a day.

That much coffee can easily do it, then couple that with the addition of testosterone, sounds right.

It does increase with age, but not all older folks have BP problems. I’d ask your dad if he was having it measured through his earlier years. Also ask if anyone in your family has had heart attacks or strokes.

The good news is that your systolic isn’t super high and your diastolic isn’t elevated. It’s been stated or suggested a couple of times above that this is part of AAS usage. You go to your MD, don’t tell them you are on, but maybe attribute it to stress from something. Let him start you on something mild. Or as you said, you ride this out and see how your blood pressure responds after being off the cycle.

As it was also stated above, high blood pressure at an early age isn’t good, because with each year (and you’ve got lots of them), irreparable damage is being done.

Get your hematocrit checked and if it’s high, simply donate. That routine will likely be part of the rest of your life if you continue to use, no big deal.
