bloodpressure.

[Twitched]

Hey bros.

Week 3, 500mg enanthate, up 15lbs, BP is now 162/76.

This is very high. It will come down post cycle, but is it safe to be this high for the next 8 weeks? Where does it get to the point where its very seroius?.

Also, I hear systolic is much more important then diastolic.. why is this? and why is my systolic so fuckin HIGH and my diastolic lower then normal?

do u get your bp checked at one of those self service machines? I find that those give me higher readings than those from my doc. Maybe its cuz my arms are too big for those cuffs

oooh.. yeah I use the service machines.. self serve.. arms maybe up to about 16" now.. could that be screwing with my readings?

Those machines won't give an accurate reading if your arms are bigger than 13".

yeah...those things fuckin sqeeze my arms WAAAAY too tight...its no surprise that my blood pressure would be high after that.

actually even if that is right, its not too bad, the lower number is in check and thats the most important. and yes, the machines usually give a reading too high if you are above average sized

Well, if youre on week 3 of that much test its mostly water. Holding that much water Im not a bit surprised your BP is high. Are you on an anti e, liquidex, arimidex, aromasin, letrozole? That will help a lot. Also, use a low dose water pill. I dont hear this mentioned much but at a low dose it is really safe and will help a lot to get rid of excess water. Any doc would easilly script that for you if you asked him with a bp like that. Is it safe to run a pressure like that for 5 more weeks? If youre pumping serious iron definitely not, if youre not possibly yes. To be honest I wouldnt train with a resting systolic bp of 162. They keep changing on which one is more imortant. I wouldnt mess with either of them, they both, when high, put a lot of excessive strain on your heart valves. Just get on something asap to get all that water off of you and youll be fine bro. As for other posts that tell you not to worry about it theyre full of shit. Dont screw with your bp, you can really mess your heart up and it isnt worth it. If youre unsure stop at any docs office, you dont need an apointment because the nurse can do it. Also, make sure they use a large cuff if your arms are big. All the best.
