[daniel r]

hey on cycle at the moment 250mg test cpy and i just checked my blood preasure and it reads sys= 157 Dia= 65 and a pulse off 87 i worked out about 2 hours ago. is this normal? high? thanks.

not your pulse, but your blood pressure is def high. After the workout your bp should drop.

normal blood pressure is 120/80

dangers over 150 systolic
the diastolic is the one to watch out if its like 97that's not good systolic pressure is when the heart pumps diastolic is pressure in artery/veins in between pumps and the diff. between sys/dia like 157-65=92mmhg is the pressure change which matters too

thanks guys just checked on the internet and the cuff is to small for my arm so that might have stuffed the reading up but i am not sure. i had gone to the doctors 3 weeks ago and he told me it was fine. ill get a bigger cuff and re do it.

Besides getting a bigger cuff, you need to check your BP after you have been resting for at least 30 min. Sit down , chill and have your cuff next to you. then always take it 3 times to get a good average. Even getting up and walking across the room to get your cuff can fuck your bp all up.
A nurse had to come take mine and the wifes for insurance policy and I was walking around doing shit, and had been to the gym 2 hours before. It was like 139/75 which is totally off. My resting bp is 125/65

do BP check first thing in the morning before you even get out of bed. that will give the most stable reading because your body has been resting 8 hours or however long it is.
