: : : I am on the end of my 3rd week of sus250 and went to the store to check my blood pressure, comes to find out that it's 172-s 52-d ( I am no expert on which is which so if I'm wrong shoot me) anyways is this normal? I havent really had too many side effects but have put on 11 lbs My blood Pressure was normal (130-40 something)
: : : Is this cool or should I be worried
: : : Please advise
: : The 170 is kind of high keep an eye on it. The 52 is ok. this is you heart when it is at rest the 170 is at work! Watch your sodium intake water retention is going to raise your BP! salt will add to the problem. Try increasing your potassium and see if this helps otherwise, if I were you I would try getting a Blood Pressure medication such as I think Catapryss is what my fiance' takes! Mail order places can usu. provide this without probs. Otherwise check with a Dr. if you get to paranoid. you don't want to have stroke cuz of high BP> For now just monitor it! If it goes higher systolic (TOP#) and or if Dyastolic (bottom) goes and stays higher than 95 to 100 deffiniately worry some. How much longer is your cycle with sust? Monitor bp even after your last dose! It stays in the system for a few weeks like 4 I think!! So every week your levels of sust. in your body are elevated! GOod luck! Take Care! She-rah!
: The 170 is high, but if you are young and otherwise healthy, it wont do any permanent damage. It certainly is not high enough to cause a stroke in a young healthy person. I would not recomend taking catapres for this. If it gets higher than 200/100, see your md. I think the advice about limiting your sodium and increasing pottasium is right on.
Thanks I have 5 more shots to go I am going to try to get some clomid for the end of the cycle will this be a problem?
I'm 23 Yrs and been in perfect health up to date!!
Thanks to ya both!!!!
