Mine was about the same while on M1T and 4AD. I got all freaked out, thought I was gonna drop dead ...lol As soon as I came off I went back down to normal range. I was also taking ephedrine, that prolly aggravated it. I heard that taking Coenzyme Q10 and Hawthorne Berry is supposed to help. That's all I got bro. Good Luck!

That isn't all that bad. Clean up the diet a bit, cut sodium, do a little more cardio, keep checking it frequently.

Re: How Bad is this

I've seen worse bro, my own......at one time, but it varies depending on caffine intake and salt...and gear of course brings it up some. As long as the bottom number does not get to close to the top number, you will be ok, (I said ok, not fine), but keep a good eye on it, and don't check it after coffee, greasy meals ( which I hope you don't eat) and salt.

Agree with Triggerman. There are BP which are much worst. You mainly just have to watch your bottom number and stay away from unhealthy foods and sodium. If you want you can try eating garlic or let it sit in a glass of water for about 2 hours and then drink it. Garlic helps to lower BP.

Have you had your cholesterol checked? Also are you on cycle or recently off one? Red Yeast Rice is good for lowering cholesterol at 600mg in morning and 600mg in the evening. Garlic as said above too.

Re: How Bad is this

Well you did not say how old you are or what your BP is normally for you.Your BP fluctuates by the second.151/92. At that pressure you are no where near dying. As a paramedic in the field , we do not treat Hypertension( high BP ) until the systolic(1st number) is over 180 and symptomatic(head aches and such) or the lower number (diastolic) is over 96 AND symptomatic. If you do not have any symptoms, such as headache, dizziness or blurred vision, don't worry. Just keep an eye on it. And if anyone is wondering what those numbers mean then keep reading. The 1st number, systolic is the MOST amount of pressure in your heart at that moment. The 2nd number diastolic, is the LEAST amount of pressure in your heart at that moment.Although they both are important, the diastolic is MORE important because this is when your heart gets to rest. If your body doesn't get the rest thats needed,then it will fail as in weightlifting. Well, same goes for your heart.Calm down and keep an eye on it. Lots of things can help esp. NOT STRESSING OUT over it. If the numbers keep creeping then see a doc or cut some of the juice you are on. What gear are you taking?? Anadrol and D-bol or notorious for raising you BP.And remember, if you are not symptomatic its not a biggie. However if you BP gets to 96 or higher then you should start taking some action. Do not let it get over 100.It still won't kill you( not for a while anyways), but its not good for your heart and eventually it could cause a stroke.I'm assuming you are a young person and not 70 Y/O. That changes things. Also if you quit the gear, I'll take it for you!! I never said this advice was free!! And smoking the Tweed will help relax you so keep it up!!!

Re: How Bad is this

Thanks Joe. My diastolic is now down in the 70's but my systolic is still up in the 150's. I'm 33 years old and on 500mg's of test and 400mg's EQ per week. I'm not all that stressed over it. The problem is I need it to be below 140/90 for a work physical.

Re: How Bad is this

Well 150 systolic and a diastolic in the 70s is fine. If they require 140/90 then that sucks but the doc. should go off the evaluation not just the BP. Any family history of hypertension?

Re: How Bad is this

I was 169/90 about a month ago. I'm on 10mg of norvasc and in that amount of time its dropped from that to 134/63. High blood pressure is in my genetics, i'm normaly 160/ 75 or so...but not anymore lol!

time to CYCLE!!!

Lots of family history. More than likely I will have to take medication to pass the physical. Because of that I will have to retake the physical every year instead of every other year. The standard was 160/90 and was lowered to 140/90 this year. I guess they want everyone to be on medication.
