Ok so a few things:
1) I am not affiliated with this company nor anyone to promote this product, brand, or drug.
2) There is no generic of this drug at this time
3) I have had Hypertension (thanks dad) my entire life but it worsened since I began using and abusing anabolics in my 20's. I am 43 now. I have been prescribed meds for many years and have only used them on and off.
4) It has been 1.5 years since I used a BP med even though I have been very high. I was on Propanolol before and it really wasn't working super well for me at all. So I stopped using it cold turkey.
5) I was using Donating blood every 2 months to assist in alleviating high BP (and it worked very well) until Red Cross banned me permanently from donating, saying I had a "false positive" for something that disqualifies me from donating. Super shady.
10/20/21- DAY 1
I report to my Doctor (one of them) and I give some labs for overall health but I also state that I want back on BP meds. I show her the Med I would like to try after much research and deliberation.
The drug is called BYSTOLIC aka Nebivolol.
Day 1- My BP was a despicable 167/113
This actually is the highest and worst number I have ever seen. This is a combination of me using PWO daily. Not donating blood in a few months even though I can do it myself. And also stress and my general BP being bad.
Long term high BP is terrible for Kidneys.
I took my first pill 10mgs on an empty stomach at 11am.
I didn't feel it really kick in until maybe say 1-2pm. I def could see my face color turn whiter and I felt the pressure in the body go away. I could tell it was working.
I took my Blood Pressure at home 5x to be sure I wasn't seeing things at 3pm. This was 5 hours after my dosage.
Holy ****
I was 167/113 and now 133/88. Also my pulse was like 105 and now it's 80
This is a tremendous change day 1.
One of the reasons I wanted this drug is the Metabolic Doctor aka Dr. Thomas O'Connor who I previously worked with about a decade ago, in endocrinology is a huge fan of and prescribing it to his patients with super success
Also according to his reporting, men report Increased Libido, instead of decreased libido on this drug.
This is a beta blocker so it will also help with anxiety and anxiety disorders.
Though what I must tell you having worked w patients myself and dealing with these issues is that many times "Anxiety" isn't really anxiety, it is the body physically reacting to an issue within itself and showing itself as "anxiety"
If you wake up in your sleep out of breathe in a panic attack. It might not just be an anxiety attack. It very well might be your heart responding a certain way. The result of high BP and stress showing itself and the heavy breathing or other issues associated with the heart malfunction or the hearts reactions may appear to you as a pscyhological manifestation aka Anxiety or panic attack
A beta blocker can help to shut down the ACTUAL or initial reason for the anxiety. If the heart is pumping too much blood, or various other underlying issues exist, using a beta blocker can actually treat the physical and therefore any "psychological" impacts you may have such as anxiety or panic attack
So it's a cool start for Day 1.
I'm only doing this log in the hopes this works super well and may help someone else
Pricewise if your insurance covers this great. If not, the going cash rate is around $170 a month FYI
