uh, yeah, aspirin will thin the blood, possibly preventing a stroke or heart attack. but if i were you, i'd get on some mild bp med. something to help dilate the capillaries and such. that's the part to be concerned with, the amount of blood pressure against your interior walls when the heart is at rest, in between beats.

I wouldn't use aspirin for that. Potassium is a better choice...

asprin will not controlll your BP of 160/100..you need to continue to monitor your BP during and post cycle,,uncontrolled hypertension can cause future problems, i dont want you to stroke out on us.

bro, do you have insurance? do a walk in at your doc or ER even and tell them you need some meds. they never even asked me if i use AAS, i told them i have a family history of it and a stressful job. it will make you feel better. plus give you lots of peace of mind.

meds will work, but if I can stay away from them, I'd rather do that.... trust me on this.... ginger and garlic... my whoe family is plagued with heart disease and high BP... I take ginger regularly and I eat lots of garlic and my BP is always on the very low end of the normal range

In what form do you take the ginger and garlic?Capsules?and at what sort of dose?Good ol' garlic hey.

well, garlic I eat as is.... either raw in salads or cooked....best way to eat it....then again, I'm Italian *grin* I typically drink ginger tea every day...sometimes eat fresh ginger root or candied ginger (too much sugar though)
