Genetically...ive always had low BP and cholesterol levels... im in the fourth week of a 'mild' cycle, consisting of 500mg/wk of aratest (down from 750mg/wk) and 400mg/wk of eq. dbol was utilized during the first three weeks at 50mg/day and has since been dropped (along with the test dosage) because the strength gain was coming along to fast....stressing a recovering shoulder injury. my kidneys have been hurting...lower, left part of my back.. im drinking plenty o' water....no unusual color to my urine and im using 50mg/day of proviron and 10mg/day of nolva to keep the 'bloat' in check........ well....i tested my BP at one of those electronic devices at the drugstore.....the average over 6 consecutive reading was 154/99! thats not fucking healthy! I just took 40mg of lasix and a maxzide....have a doctors appt on the 29th....just a routine cycle check-up....BP...liver enzymes....cholesterol...etc... any advice or comments would really be appreciated as im a bit worried about my BP being so high....shit--im making great gains but this shit sux peace Unity66     | ||

My advice is have it checked manually by someone, maybe a freaind or go to the locaql clinic and have them check it, and have them check it with the proper size for your arm(I know alot of guys including myself that the average adult BP cuff doesn't fit us thaey have to use the Obese size cuff and also have them check it in both arms. See that doc and good luck MEDIC | ||

Those cuffs,as stated are for an AVERAGE size UPPER arm.I wouldn't panic over readings from those machines,they're consistantly off.Your doc's reading will be much more accurate...RELAX bro... | ||

my girlfriend, who is a registered nurse says that if the lasix doesn't bring your bp down you will need to see a doctor. With blood pressure that high you are putting yourself at risk for a stroke. Don't fuck around here bro. Also don't trust those damn blood pressure machines at the drugstores. I have gotten some pretty crazy readings off of them before myself. Mike ------------------ | ||

Those cuffs in the drugstore, they suck dude! Relax, wait, and get a proper reading before you get yourself worked up. Stress will push the limit on your B.P. if it is already high, so don't get worked up. Peace  | ||

Unity make sure a proper sized cuff is used. Morons will take your BP and then when your BP is high they'll blame it on the anabolics if you "come clean" and tell them. have a large cuff used when they take your BP ------------------ | ||

See your doc bro. I have what's known as labile hypertension. My nurse will take by b.p. and it will be high, come back in 10 min. and it will read normal. Any stimulants will raise b.p. (caffine,ephedrine etc.) Have it checked regularly by your doc. ghans | ||

These are some good points. The BP cuff should overlap by 1/3. They have to use that big ass thigh cuff for me. Lg adult (BP-170/110) Thigh cuff (BP 130/80) Some nurses think they know everything, but a cuff that is too small will give an innaccurate reading. | ||

I had a similiar problem during my last cycle of Deca/D-bol/Sust. My BP went upto something like 175/140, but it went back down post cycle!!!! During the cycle I increased water intake and did some light cardio 3x a week and it improved so you might want to do that also. | ||

I know when my BP is high (140/90 or more). I turn red as a beet and sweat like a dog in a Chinese restaurant. You'll know if it is that high bro! ------------------ | ||
