Title: Blood Pressure???
Post by Pfunk on Mar 15^th, 2013 at 11:45pm

Hey all. For first time in my life I was told by te doc that have high blood pressure. I normally run a bit high during cycle but this tim it was unusually high. First time205/119 and then 185/120. She prescrbed Dyaside nd said she thought it'd only be temporary. First?- Could the high BP be the reason Beastie is back after almost 2 years pain free? Second?- Has anyone heard of or taken dyaside and could it be making this cycle worse than my last? TY

Patrick

My CH's started 7-8 years ago at the same time I was diagnosed with HBP. I've always wondered if the two were related or a coincidence.

my b/p is always high when I'm in cycle. The doc always say its from the pain, but I've noticed it gets high a few weeks before they start but goes back to normal a few weeks after there gone. I noticed that, even in my 20s. Having said that , it doesnt meen you haven't developed high blood pressure that needs treated always. I've not heard of that drug however. I would think something that lowers your blood pressure would help your cycle not make it worse. Hopefully one of the experts will chime in with better advise.

One of the best ways to lower your BP along with lowering your total cholesterol and triglycerides is to start the anti-inflammatory regimen with 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 and at least 2000 mg/day Omega 3 Fish Oil... Three birds with one stone/regimen...

Adding some Cholest Off and a little exercise will also help.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

I wonder how high BP shoots up during a CH? Although if in the middle of a Kip10 I'm not sure I could stay still whilst someone measured it.

Ty to all who responded here. And Batch, thank's again for the D3 info. I cut my last cycle from the normal 3-4 months to a mere 1 month with that combination. This time I've been back on for almost 2 weeks and the hits are alot more manageable(from always K10 to 5-6), I have in fact not had a visit from the beast in 2 days.
Mike, I have in fact been in the doc's office/hosp during a hit so they had to take vitals. I remeber it beeing as high as 175/100 but it always went down after it was aborted. biggest problemthis time was that bp was running real high so a hit was making it dangerously high.
