Who here gets high BP?

[RagenMMA]

I was interested to know who here gets high blood pressure and what causes it. I've never had BP issues until using AS. I actually don't have much of an issue unless i'm using over a gram total of compounds (i.e Test/Deca).

HGH was the bullet that hit me though. My blood pressure today was 165/102 and i'm already taking Diovan 160 for BP. I guess my body is just anti-HGH. I will say when i'm off totally i am always have normal readings. I sure as hell hope i don't get long-term damage or BP issues later in life.

Do you take ephedrine/clen? That is a really high diastolic, it scares me more than your systolic. That number is pretty much signifying complete parasympathetic withdrawl, or your baseline is changed significantly.

When on cycle I am 130-140/80-90

Thats pretty concerning, I Would try some cardio, and supplement taurine and drink lots of water .

I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure at 18. Was in a car accident and in hospital and they wouldn't let me out because my blood pressure was so high. Ran every test they could to figure out why and came back empty. They put me on meds and I took them for a couple of weeks and then said fuck it..was 18 and bullett proof. A couple of years later had my nose badly broken playing rugby and had to go in for a rhinoplasty and same thing..wouldn't let me out due to my high blood pressure so back on meds again and have been ever since. Just bad genetics in my case but why I have to keep an eye on it when on cycle. Eq seems to be the worst for me but I do love that stuff.

I was 147/80 at two doctors appointments in the last two weeks. They look at me funny because I seem to be in good health otherwise. Both times though I sat there for 5 minutes and just relaxed and it went back to semi-normal. Definitely elevated on cycle and I think the anxiety from EQ is definitely not helping.

 

[silent says]

Never had issues before but it runs in my family.The past 3-4 weeks it has been around 165/105.Had to drop cycle to get it down before I have a surgery late dec.Pre testing is monday,doc put me on benicar to get down quick (130/85 today)Doc feels it will come back normal after a few weeks.

What is parasympathetic withdrawal and how does it relate to the compounds you mentioned above? Wouldn't Clenbuterol cause low blood pressure given the fact that it is a vaso-dilator?

What is parasympathetic withdrawal and how does it relate to the compounds you mentioned above? Wouldn't Clenbuterol cause low blood pressure given the fact that it is a vaso-dilator?

Your blood vessels during rest (Diastole) are under control of the parasympathetic nervous system, this system is responsible for lowering the resting heart rate, and controlling the tonus of the smooth muscles surrounding our blood vessels.

Since blood pressure is: Stroke volume x Peripheral resistance x heart rate, or cardiac output x peripheral resistance, affecting one of the variables will increase blood pressure.

Ephedrine is a adrenergic agonist, which means it will bind to the receptors of the sympathetic nervous system which will always override parasympathetic action. Parasympathetic tone is active during rest and digest, and sympathetic is the active system..

Without parasympathetic tone, the intrinsic heart rate would be 100 beats per minute (roughly). If you use ephedrine, the parasympathetic system is overridden by the adrenergic agonist (Adrenal receptors respond to epinephrine/norepinephrine).

While clen does cause some degree of vaso-dilation, it is a beta-2 agonist, and will bind to the tissue in the heart, and the alveoli in the lungs. It will raise the heart rate, and the ejection volume (stroke volume) so it will likely cause an increase in systolic blood pressure, but most likely a drop in diastolic blood pressure.

This is a lot of convoluted information, but essentially, these supplements bind to receptors that are there as a physiological control switch, and cause a deviation in resting values.

In essence, I would guess that ephedrine would raise both diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and thus a noticeable increase in mean arterial pressure. Clen, I don't know, I would have to test the mean arterial pressure, but would still guess it would increase it.

Be safe bro's, and I wrote this real fast. I will look back later to make sure it is clear enough to understand.

Thanks for the detailed info. Just curious Sesational, is your BG in medicine. You know an awful lot about the intricacies of circulatory and nervous system. Anyway, thanks for the info and keep the info flowing.

My bachelors is in human physiology, I just did a huge project on blood pressure regulation and the effects of certain substances so it required a pretty good amount of detail.

Thanks for the compliment, and glad I could chip in.

First time I ran deca my bp was high & I was red faced while on it. I'm on cycle now & including deca at half the dose I ran last time (200mgs wk this run)& havent had those probs til I started anadrol (1st run with drol) 3 days ago. noticed tonight my face is red & feels warm. gettin bp checked monday morn.i'm sure its the drol. Normal for me top # is around 125-130

Growth is giving me wicked BP. wonder why???

Water retention? That would cause a drastic increase in peripheral resistance.

The equation for peripheral resistance is length of vessel divided by the radius of the vessel to the fourth power. So you can see that minute changes in vessel radius equate to large changes in peripheral resistance.

Remember that blood pressure is Stroke volume x heart rate x peripheral resistance.

 

[spikemydog]

140s over mid 80s i see im not alone.... awsum read here.my doc says its ok for now but i do get stressed about it...best thing to do is keep an eye on it and only take the meds your doc scripts yah,, if so needed...there many different kinds of meds for this.

 

[j_p]

you left out the option NO lol
would have made the poll more interesting.

Im good even on 75mg dbol ed.

if very angry or just worked out a few numbers passed the norm but not high.

Mine is normally really really low. Right around 95-100/45-50. My first Inj cycle was test and eq. 4 weeks into it I had stage 2 hypertension with a 170/100bp ended up having a minor heart attack, and now the dock says my heart beats too hard. So I spent 6 months and lost 45lbs of muscle and just trained my lungs, and now it's back to 100/50. No more EQ for me though!

 

[makaveli25]

Damn really? Equipose gave me really high blood pressure to. I wonder why some people can really tolerate it and others can't?

 

[RickO'Shea]

Yeah and I was only running it at 400mg a week. Not much by most peoples eq standards.

 

[yatesolympia]

Always get high blood pressure, but what do i expect, aim 5 6' and get as heavy as 230. I got arrested a few weeks ago and the cops had to put 3 pairs of cuffs together, they even got a laugh out of it.

 

[wiley79]

High BP here on 500mg a week of test, Lisinpril 40mg for me to settle it down.

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I had blood pressure issues the first time I ever cycled.

I was pretty nervous when I was on the first time so I know I had a little bit of anxiety. Anxiety will increase blood pressure, BIG time.

I also came to the realization that I salted alot of the foods I ate and I was pretty damn liberal about it. I pretty much only salt dinner now and just use a passing spritz of salt. This has helped alot.

I take minimum 5 grams fish oil every day. I prefer to take 10+ ed, but I'm low on oil atm. High fish oil intake with reduced salt intake has pretty much completely eliminated any high blood pressure or hypertensive feelings I used to get.

 

[Nelson Montana]

Old thread. Now with N2GUARD, elevated blood pressure is less of a concern. Though, you always have to keep an eye on it.

 

[Para_Shoot]

Is anyone here actually on BP medicine? I am on Clonidine, not for high BP but to calm nervous ticks, another use for it. I started this CLonidine in Sept 2010. I started using 50mg of tren enanthate a week in addition to my 50mg of test cypionate a week for my own HRT along around end of November, which is working very well. I do believe that tren raises your blood pressure but being on the CLonidine mine is staying within proper range. I take a half of a .1mg clondine in the morning and a whole .1mg clonidine at night, also helps to sleep. I feel that being on this clonidine is a nice balance to the excess blood pressure that my aas may cause. What do you think?

 

[illkickurass]

I got high bp from using super dmz. It's still running prety high even though I used it 6 months ago. It hovers around 130-156/ ~75.

I have it naturally. Runs in my family genetics. Control it simply with meds. Now its never high ON or OFF cycle.

 

[illkickurass]

I already got a prescription for bp meds but I really don't want to take it.

 

[Billy Beverly]

I have had problems with my BP as well and it seems to get worse when I am on a cycle. The doctor first put me on a beta blocker which helped, but it was hard to get my heart rate over 110 when doing cardio. They have sense switched me over to a new med that widens the blood vessels and this seems to work as well. High BP isn't something to mess with. Get a BP monitor and go see your Doctor.

 

[stevesmi]

its normal to get a 'higher' bp while on cycle. if you are running a cycle with a lot of water retention then expect higher BP... but thats why its important to be in good shape before going on cycle, and to cycle off.

even on my last cycle my bp was good. but when i ran a test/dbol/deca cycle my bp did get elevated from all that water retention

 

[DannoMight]

im on test, tren and anadrol and my bp was 88/55 but the nurse checked it with a sweatshirt on. usually is around 105/75 no matter what.

 

[RickO'Shea]

No joke, since I've switched to The Gentlemen's Club, the had no other BP issues.

 

[mlavin]

I just turned 30 and have high blood pressure, my doc has me on 20mg of Benazepril a day. Honestly, it is my goal to get off the meds through cardio, taurine and lowing my sodium intake. It's really a bitch, I have always had a rosy complexion but with the stress of commission only B2B sales and high BP, I light up like a stoplight and it doesn't take much.

Cardio has helped and I'm testing a home BP monitor at my doc's today along with getting blood work.

BP is a big deal and I need to get it in check before running something come New Year.

Best advice i read... high bp while on steroids is recipes for disaster... The last thing you want your heart to do is work harder while AAS is in your system...

You dont wanna build muscle cartilage on the heart and have your pumps restricted.... This will lead to all kinds of health issues and the fear, Heart Attack!!

Im always monitoring my BP from just basic supplementation... When on juice, Literally, twice a day i was monitoring... Im sure any doctor/physician in the rightmind would perscribe BP meds whether they now or not that your on cycle... especially if your on cycle...

Im one of the ones that naturally has high BP... Dad had open heart surgery and 2 valves replaced at 37... Esophagoplasty at 46 and is a Non-Smoker... Grandfather had the same esphagoplasty a year ago, so we need to take our genetics into consideration and regulate the body the correct/safe way, and this does mean being open with our PAs/Physicians about use. Asking for a script to regulate BP is different than asking for trt....
make sure the diet is low in sodium will assist, and drinking lots of water to shed your extra water weight will drop the BP...

While on clen I have a resting bpm of 90-100 and when excercise 150 bpm. When off clen my resting is 60 and with excersise 120 .
