Why didn't your doc put you on a bp med?

 

[deltron2000]

I would stop and start up PCT. I am 32 y/o though. I tend to look at the long term. I want to lead a full life with no limitations.

I'd expect your pressure to lower a bit since you've finished the Fina already.
Definitely listen to the other bros who suggested an aspirin a day, that's always helpful.

Here's a bit of information regarding heart murmurs:

What causes a heart murmur?
Heart murmurs may be caused by a number of factors or events, including:

* defective heart valves
* holes in the heart walls
* pregnancy (hopefully this isn't you.... haha)
* fever
* thyrotoxicosis
* anemia

What are the types of murmurs?

Types of murmurs include:

* diastolic murmur - occurs during heart muscle relaxation between beats. (this is rarely serious, but is more common. Don't worry about this, but you might want to stay away from stimulants like Clen, Ephedrine, at least while you're on cycle).

* systolic murmur - occurs during heart muscle contraction and is graded by intensity (on a scale of one to six, with one being very faint and six being extremely loud). Depending on how high your # is, it could be dangerous, but this probably isn't you.

* stenotic heart valve - valve cannot open completely, so blood is ejected through a smaller than normal opening. I am doubting this is your type of murmur, would've been noticed earlier in life, especially during strenous excercise.

* aortic or mitral regurgitation - valve may be unable to close completely, leading to regurgitation of blood back through the valve when it should be closed. Same as above

* innocent heart murmurs - sounds made by blood circulating through the chambers and valves of the heart or through blood vessels near the heart; sometimes referred to as "functional" or "physiologic" murmurs. Innocent murmurs are common in children and usually quite harmless and disappear when a child reaches adulthood, though some adults still have them. This is what I would guess you have, might have just never come up before your BP was raised.

I was diagnosed with a HEART MURMUR when a horse kicked me over the heart and broke two ribs.When they were done testing in the ER the doc told me that I now have a heart MURMUR,but he also told me that the only thing it might do is keep me from competeing at the olympics He told me to wait until my ribs heal fully,then hit the gym again.I should mention this all happened over three years ago,and the only thing I've noticed is that I get winded a little easier than i used to.Hope this helps Bro

I would stop and go get a 2D-Echocardiogram with dopler flow study done as soon as possible. Something is causing the murmur. I have a murmur and the doc told me never to juice again or it could kill me.

I'm just curius to see how your doc can tell you that you could die by taking a substance that your body naturally produces anyway. Is your Doc one of those doctors that will tell you that steroids are made by the devil and that you'll go srtaight to hell for useing them? Just kidding Bro but I would like to see some evidence that Testosterone (The only Class 3 substance that naturally flows in your body)injected or taken orally is deadly but the Testosterone already in your body is OK

Get the echo.

Run a stress treadmill test.

Get the ecg.

Ask about a holter test (24 hour ecg tracing)

Any cardiologist worth a damn will have all three tests available in his/her office.

Take your health personally, and don't blindly trust the MD, not all are quality!
