Try keeping your cardio to 3 days a week for at least 20 minutes. I dont know why but this helps me. Keeping your diet clean and low in sodium is helpful too. When all else fails I use a diuretic to keep in close to normal. Anything more than 145/85 makes me nervous. At the worst I get up to 160/100. Yikes! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Mine was 158/86 the last time and it made me feel real uneasy.....is it ok to do the cardio while on a cycle? I have heard that it isn't a good idea. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

To put it as simple as possible, Just watch the bottom number for now, if it is falling in the range of lees than 88 u should be in the clear(though 88 being on the high side)-for the top nimber it can change that dramaticlly from having stresses in your life, two many cups of coffee, beig tired(again stress). Different things can cause it to elavate. Just keep an eye on it and if it is high again sit and relax for 10-15min(and I mean relax) take it again and see what the numbers are. If they are still to high for u go seek a doc and let him set u on a course of action. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

ACE inhibitors are the most effective, most specific, least side-effect causing BP medication for otherwise healthy people. Insurance covers them, they don't hurt gains, and I personally recommend them (which is the real reason you should check it out!). Peace! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
