Ephedra question with HBP??

[GatorHunter]

Hi,
I had a quick question about high blood pressure and ephedra can this cause you to have problems in small doses? This is concerning with bp meds and ephedra use bp meds in the morning and ephedra in the mid day or evening. Let me know if any body is familiar or ever experianced any problems? I have used caffeine like 3 or more cups black coffee before and was not affected but ephedra is a lil bit more effective to my expieriance. Thanks in advance for the help!

if you've got hbp, don't take ephedra.

Well see this is my perdicament I think its because I have gained so much weight. I went from a lean 5'8" 160 to a Fat 5'8" 210 so I figure the weight is causeing my HBP and I really need to figure out a way to get it off quick cause its killing me and a long time ago I was 245 and used ephedra and went down low until I was able to maintain if anyone can help me with a better idea please feel free other wise I might become a giant fat man with my own gravitational pull!!!

you're just a little fat. there's no hurry. in 4 months, you can easily lose 16lbs. safely, with maybe 3 20-30 minute cardio sessions per week and some tweeking of your diet. if you're extremely concerned about your health, your doc could always prescribe bp meds and maybe a water pill. if deemed neccessary. but i would just look at this as a challenge, something to have met by the late spring.

My best guess is that your retaining tons of water, a mild diuretic should help , stay awayf from salt........check your BP bro is dengerous territory

Ephedra will increase your heart rate, and blood pressure. Avoid caffeine also.
Eat less, exercise more. Moderate lifestyle changes can make a huge differance in bodyweight. Good luck.

there are alot of other options for fat loss.. clen.. t3.. not saying they are all meant for everyone but hell ephedrine definatley isnt your best option

 

[GatorHunter]

I have tons of clen but I thought it was more likely to up my bp than the over the counter ephedrine? So if I use clen and T3 I should be good to go? Thanks for the help so far. Let me know what you guys think.

Stay away from both Clen and Ephderine if you have BP issues.

Try something stimulant free like Levorex and AlCar/Green Tea.

Find out what the source of the problem is that is causing you problems. It will probably be a combo of many things though......diet, inactivity, weight/fat gain, drugs, etc.....

Get your diet straight with a lower carb intake. Increase your water. An AI may help to some extreme. Really though....i'm just guessing in the wind here because unless you know the source of the problem....you cannot get proper advice. Make sure to keep up with your MD visits....and see a specialist if you need to.
