First off 170/90 is very bad. You obviously know this. Where do you get it checked? Do you own a home BP monitor? If you dont you need to fucking get one. No excuses. If you have one then disregard.
Going to the doctor or drug store to check your BP is bullshit. Its completely inaccurate. You were just walking around and active.
Checking a few times to get an average while having been seated and chill for 20-30 minutes will give you a true resting BP.
Obviously test can affect people differently. Theres always the extreme case in every side effect. I say increased BP on an HRT dose is complete bullshit. I have been on 150mg wk for months and my BP is 115-120/65 with a 56 resting pulse. But thats just me obviously.
I know that for myself I can take a good 500mg test wk without BP issues. If I were to add another 400-500 mg of other AAS on top of it then yes my BP is going to creep into the 140's /80's
I personally would take meds at that point but I know what to take because I used to take them when I was larger.
You may have a genetic issue where you'll need BP meds. Whatever... maybe thats horse shit. But a doc is the only person to tell you whats the right med to take. I used to take a beta blocker. I knew a guy that had to take an alpha blocker. Now if this guy fucked up and took my beta blocker it would probably have killed him(because of his issues) So you cant just take BP meds. Thats one thing where you do need your docs help. Unlike HRT which 90% of them know dick about.
