Whats your blood pressure?

[data]

Just started up a cycle (1g cyp/wk, 400mg drol/wk, & humalog 3x/wk) and my blood pressure is prehypertensive around 135/85 and I've caught it a few times at 135/90. Off a cycle its nearly normal 120/80. Lately I've been drinking a ton of coffee and eating some crappy foods so I just started eating cleaner and cut out some of the carbs to help control fluid retention. Might have to take a baby aspirin per day during this cycle as well.

Depending upon your body weight 140/85 is not actually an issue...above that at any weight (assuming you are lean of course and not a diabetic) is very hard on your cardio/vascular system and if long term, the first step to kidney disease. Add excess uric acid, urea and nitrates form high protein waste and a few diuretics and you are on your way to stage 1 or higher kidney disease (Keep an eye on you GFR from you blood work and creatinine to stay a step ahead).

The simple solution to slightly elevated BP is increase/balance potassium to sodium ratio. The correct human ratio is about 7:2 (potassium to sodium) and stay well hydrated. If that fails low dose use of dandelion extract or root will normally do the job. Of course if you are using aromatizing compounds a little AI helps, but do not kill all of your estrogen off as you need some for growth and sex. Just a suggestion.

just checked yesterday 117/85 both normal according to the chair, although i was under the impression that 85 was high for diastolic, but maybe its not that was after stims and running a cycle 3 weeks ago

[data]

At the moment I'm 5'6" 220lbs offseason but not very out of shape.

I'm using 1mg of arimidex every other day or 3x/wk to help the fluid retention. I can tell I'm holding water as my wedding ring is hard to take off.

Can a simple blood or urine test measure your Glomerular filtration rate?If I am supplementing 3g of creatine per day will that screw up the results of a creatinine test?

My diet basically looks like this:
- 1 cup egg whites. 3-4 whole eggs.
- 1 sc whey isolate. 30-40g peanuts.
- 400-500g cooked chicken. 2-3 cups mixed frozen veggies.
- 1 sc whey isolate. 30-40g peanuts.
- 400-500g cooked fish or beef. 2-3 cups greek salad (3-4 olives, 30-40g feta, & 1 tbsp oil).
- 1 sc whey isolate. 30-40g peanuts.

I do a whole body workout 3x/wk just basic lifts and I'm starting to do some cardio just 15-20 minutes climbing stairs which is pretty hard on my aerobic ability so far.

Wow thanks for the info Mr. Rea.

Last check was one month ago @ 146/85 i

Before this it has never been over 120/80, but I'm dealing with a pregnant gf right now so I guess that is where it is coming from !

^ Congrats bro ... I just had my first baby boy born late Jan.2010 ... its so hard to describe bro its an amazing experience ... hopefully you have a good birth the wifey and I had an early emergency c-section which was the scariest thing I've gone thru.

was 130/80 few weeks ago when i went to the doc. i was surprised cuz im running shit pretty heavy now, and my weight is pretty high, but im not running any orals which definitely helps keep the bp in check.

Couldnt agree more on the orals afecting BP. Plus taking in some policosonal, niacin, garlic and omega-3 will make it easier too.

110/65. I'm a healthy motherfucker

My buddy at the gym the other day asks me "hey is 160/100 bad blood pressure as he gets ready to do 800lb shrugs.

[Jer]

Typically 120's over 70's. I'll take it, considering EVERYONE else in my immediate family (mother, father, sister, brother) all have to take BP meds.

[derekanthony]

I'm on blood pressure meds first time ever it's 125 over 80. When I'm raging it jumps lol

[Mac]

About 4 years ago my BP was 160/90 and the doctor put me on meds. I couldn't stand the feeling of them. I lost about 30lbs and started working out and got it down to 135/80 and stopped the meds.

I read about celery seed extract and how it helps HBP. With one of these a day my BP dropped to 110/60.

Fuck modern BP meds when you can take that instead.

[Carolyn Bryant]

90/60 on a regular. It got up to 123/80 or so and I felt unstable.

[SpeedoGuido]

It was 113/56 two days ago in the PM.
Right now it's 124/68 after three cups of coffee!
