high blood pressure

[bubba10]

what are some signs of high blood pressure without taking the test? what roids give high blood pressure. is it wise to take anti high blood pressure meds like adalat?

dizziness is a good sign that it's high. potassium and niacin can help, so i've been told. pretty much any roids can raise it up, especially if you're already prone to it.

frequent nosebleeds are a sign of high blood pressure. but why not just take the test, all u do is go to your local pharmacy, and they should have a computer operated machine that does evrything for u.

I went to the doc the other day and my BP was high, had a feeling it was. I get extreme headaches if I hold my breath while lifting, posing, OR having sex. This really sucks.
As far as signs are concerned, I just feel pressure at times, and the headaches.
The doc told me to drop the AS's, lucky for me I was just about to take a break anyway.
If I recall my numbers were 113/96. I'm going to start some cardio, I hope it helps. But I wouldn't mess around with any BP meds. If you're worried go see your doctor, what's the worst he can say.

These may not work, as they usually say recommended for arm sizes under 14 inches. Reading are not accurate on larger arms. Hell, my arm does not even fit.

The signs are headache, feeling dizzy when standing up, shortness of breath and nose bleeds to name a few. Go to a doctor and have it checked because the upper and lower numbers mean different causes and different threat levels. Don't fuck around you should have monitored it before you got started. Bottom line it can and will kill you if left untreated. High blood pressure can be controlled and you can still train and supplement on the meds.

To Sals Paradice:
You are right those machines are made for small arms. The first time I had my blood pressure taken after I started training was at a blood drive. The nurse couldn't fit the standard cuff around my arm........she had to get the BIG cuff. The best part about that was I was sitting next to somebody who thinks he's BIG . When the nurse went to take his pressure she went back to the regular cuff. He says ," Hey aren't you going to need that for me?".........She looked at his arm and said that it wouldn't be necessary. He was a dick!

one can have nosebleeds without having a high BP.

there aren't any symptoms. my bp is 150/100 and i feel nothing. i've been at 160/110 w/o symptoms. fuck, you can go to 190/120 & not really feel any symptoms. that is why hypertension is called 'the silent killer'. there are no symptoms.

http://medicalreporter.health.org/tmr052000/Get_Smart_About_High_Blood_Pressure.html

Fifty million people in the United States have it, including more than half the population between the ages of 60 and 74. Ninety-nine percent of people who have it show no symptoms. Twenty percent of the people who have it don’t know it. And everyone who has it can develop heart disease, stroke or kidney failure as a result.

99%. that means even if you are at 240/130 you won't feel anything.

buy a sphygnomometer at CVS, wal-mart, kmart, target, etc. that will work.

my doctor is an ad hominem arrogant nitwit. i need a new doctor to get some zestoretic 10/12.5.
