He's been off dbol for a few wks? But he said he's only been on for a month?
Anyway, that is really high on the top one and normal on the other like Saturn said. Mine has been a little high on the top one also....143. I thought the Wal-Mart one might not be acurate becuase my arm is 17" and it is for 10-13 or something. However, at the doc I had the same reading. I would talk to a doc if I were him, and if his arms are huge then maybe he should by his own bp monitor. They are only about 50 bucks.

Tweeti was experiencing heart palpitations during my cycle and was asking about it on another board.. at first i thought it was from heavy androgens but i found out it was from anti-e's, after i stopped taking nolvadex they went away

TweetUp your water intake and administer and AI to reduce edema(which could still be mildly present without notice)

See the doc

Tweet172/75 is high, but what you need to realize is that hypertension is only a problem over the long term (were talking years here). There is a very slight chance you could have a CVA (stroke) if you systolic (top number) gets above 190, but like I said it is only slight.

I don't know your situation, but I would hazard to guess that your BP is not constantly that high, many things effect BP, stress, exercise, even the time of day.

Try this; take BP readings 3 times in one day; Morning, afternoon and night. The average of those 3 is a more accurate indication of what your BP is really like on a constant basis.

No salt and lots of water will help.

There are only 2 ways to treat hypertention-excercise and diet or meds.

If you are still really worried go to see your doctor.

Oh ya, and just to let you know I am not some average Joe, I am a nurse (with high BP) and I know what I am talking about.

Good luck,

Good info and nice background....thanks bro

TweetThanks for all the info, fortunately, I think I had a false alarm. I took jsjs24's advice and purchased a home blood pressure machine @ Walgreen's with a Large cuff ($70) . After several tests my average results were 122/76. Now I can go back to training full tilt w/ out worrying about blowing a gasket!

Thanks again for all the replies
