Vitals after stopping cycle

[glennds]

i am 48. had my annual checkup and bloodwork done a couple weeks ago. i have been on cycle for, well, longer than i should be without going off.

i have had blessedly, and hereditarily low blood pressure most of my life . my blood pressure readingwas 143/74 which is above normal, bordering on high. my cholsterol was also higher than it should be.

i am sure this is due to steroid use. i decided to go offcycle after my appointment two weeks ago. although my vitals arent dangerously high, i dont want to mess with that kinda thing at this age.

tonight i went to local drug store to take my blood pressure. it surprisingly had not gone down in two weeks. this disturbed me.

if your vitals are elevated after a cycle, how long can you expect them to return to normal after going off. i hate to admit it, but i am already feeling my clothes fit a little looser around my shoulders. damn,doesnt take long.

Going to the drugstore to take your BP is bullshit. So Is going to the doc's office just for that. Your true BP is your resting BP. If your using AAS and you dont own a nice home unit to monitor yourself daily then shame on you. If I get up right now and go to the drug store and take my BP it will be high. Cause I'm up walking around. Sitting in the docs waiting room for 15 minutes does not constitute getting a resting BP either. Sit down and relax for 30-45 minutes and then take your BP 3-4 times right in a row and average it. BP numbers fluctuate as much as 30 points in either direction within seconds depending on what your doing. If your cholesterol, or triglycerides or any of that shit is out of whack then I bet you werent taking Lipid Stabil during cycle were you? That shit is a MUST in my opinion. It Fucking WORKS...period.

Normally it takes about a month for BP to get back to normal but in some ppl will stay a bit high for a long time but not 147 though!
To avoid choleserol problems as much as you can stay away from orals that helps. I mean all steroids will increase cholesterol but orals are worse

Any of them will carry it. dont get a cheapo one either. get a nice wrist unit. probably run you $30-45 for a higher end one.

Also, you can use Hawthorn Berries that you can find at walmart and very innexpensive and cut the salt from your diet

what a difference two days makes. i went back to drug store to check my BP, and reading was 131/61!

i had to do double take at lower (systolic?) figure. my family has always has low blood pressure, which (until i started juicing) nurses and doctors always commented on favorably.

its good to know BP will decrease fairly quickly from steroid use if you take some time off.

Thats good bro. Glad to hear it. But STILL go get a home monitor.
