Blood pressure 164/109

[CO B-man]

O.K. Ladies & Gents here is the update! I went in to the Doctors today. Although my blood pressure was a little on the high side it was not what that piece of crap Walmart machine said it was. I did ask her about the cuff size and she said it that a smaller cuff size on my arm would in fact affect the blood pressure and give it a higher reading than the actual. So I had an EKG and was diagnosed with high blood pressure which is not a shocker since it runs in my family anyway. She will be getting me on meds and I did tell her about me being on cycle but made her promise she would not put it down in my charts. She was real cool about it and will be watching my blood levels now. So thanks again to all!

Looks like you found you answer. I plan on using a product from Anabolic Innovation's called "Cycle Support" for my upcoming cycle, which I have heard good things about it and controling BP, along with AIFM.

Good luck with the meds.

bro,
thats really high and dangerous. i dont think wallmart bp machines are too accurate (especially if you have large arms). i suggust you get it checked with a normal bp cuff by a professional.
but if is really that high, you need to be very careful

i hope it was just that machine

Make sure they use the "big cuff" too. . .if they use the smaller one on me I always measure high.

you sound like a fucking teenager. i've been on bp meds for some time now. i have a home monitor. 160/100+ is bad news. a person with low bp and big arms will not get a high reading, regardless of cuff size. and any guys who pushes a fucking lawn mower around his yard once a week will have arms bigger than 13''.....lol.

Not true!! With the small cuff, I'm 145/105 and with the big cuff I'm 125/70. . .same person did both readings. . .one right after the other.

Come on man! That is uncool and childish I did not post that to prove anyone right or anyone wrong. I posted it because there was a discussion about if it were true or not and I thought I would see about clearing it up so that in the future we can share that knowledge with the next guy or girl that says holy shit the walmart BP test says my heart veins and arteries are going to explode!

there wasnt a discussion about fact/fiction of the bp cuffs. everyone on the thread said the same thing i did and he came in and had to be the black to everyone else's white. i was simply the focus of his bullshit.

he was a prick to me and started the flaming. childish or not, the guys a jerk off. seriously, for someone (human target) who is on bp meds and knows all about the shit to vehemently disagree on such a known topic was a joke. he was looking to cause shit because he's an internet troll who lives in the chat board. fuck him and his "karma", which is so gay to begin with.

not trying to get you in trouble CO-B.

increase your potassium, eat potatoes, they carry almost twice as much potassium as a bannanna.
stop eating all salt. salt causes hypertension. zinc will also cause it if your taking a high dose, so watch the multivitamin intake.

and what was that guy thinking about the cuff size. i would force my arm into 1 of those walmart BP tests, i have 20 1/2 inch arms, so i can only get it about on the bend of my elbow,and it always reads high. when i go to the doctor, they use the big cuff on me and i read 120/80. everytime.

oh btw, you prolly want 5-7 grams of potassium a day. a medium potato has 720 mg, bannanna has 421 i believe. bannana's are a simple sugar tho, potatoes are complex carb = better for you.

also, nobody should be taking blood pressure medicine unless its a dire emergency. most hypertension is caused by too much sodium and not enough potassium.

says human target is 35, thats WAY too young to be on meds. salt causes hardening of the arteries which causes high blood pressure.

cut salt out completely, increase potassium, and watch what your eating look at the label. if it has 700 mg of sodium, dont eat it. dont add salt to anything your cooking either.

I will go ahead and let my doctor know that she is wrong and I should not take BP med and that she needs to get her money back from the 8 years of medical school she went to and the 20 + years experience she has. Especially since I am only 35.

I appreciate you trying to help but I will listen to my doctor before I go listening to some avatar that just joined the forum. Everyone knows salt is bad, hardens your arteries and increases bp. I knew that when I was a little kid. Guess what? So does steroids! seriously though I appreciate your trying to help but you know I believe in my doctor just a little more. High bp runs in my family I have had my bp in tact with diet and excersize for quite some time way until I started to juice. My brother was on meds in his mid to late 20's my uncle, dad, grandfather, even grandmother all have it. Called genetics to.
