Blood Pressure concerns on Tren?

[GettingOld74]

So, did a search to prepare for my upcoming spring cycle and I couldn't find anything I've always had borderline BP issues and read that Tren is rough on BP. Now, I've used Tren Ace when I was younger but never worried about BP then. For those who have dealt with no issues how did you control it while using Tren. Dose will be 400MG week of Tren E.

Good luck. Pretty much everything hits my bp. But tren is about as bad as orals in my experience. Are you currently taking bp meds and what is your typical bp reading?

Currently not on BP meds. Army had me on lisinopril about 5 yrs ago. Took it for about 6 months and stopped. Normally it's high 130 over low 80s. Today it was 144/90 and that was concerning to doc. I haven't even started my cycles yet. I told her I was dehydrated after traveling last two days and basically drinking maybe 20-30 oz water each day.

Tren is going to jack your BP up definitively, especially if you are sensitive to BP.

I would suggest you look into Carditone, it's over the counter and it's very effective and safe for lowering BP, and works for the majority of users. Think it's like $25 a bottle. Well worth it.

Also donate right before you start your cycle.

Have you got a BP monitor yet? That's the first thing if you don't -- spend $75-$125 for a good one at the drug store or Amazon. Being able to track it daily or even spot check is potentially a game changer and you'll see any trends developing.

I don't remember my own reactions but I did get crazy pounding headaches during sex so it was probably bad. Don't think I owned a cuff at that point.

With those kind of numbers, I would seriously rethink tren and/or bp meds full time. It's difficult to run gear without managed bp.

And definitely get one with a bigger cuff or one of the wrist ones and check daily.

And as a side note, you can have super high bp and no apparent sides. Mine has ran 180/120 and no headache or anything.

Was just at a doc appt a few weeks ago and saw their wrist-cuff device read WAY too high (50+ pts on both numbers -- like 160/110) for no apparent reason and the nurse wasn't going to recheck. After insisting on it, the next reading only one minute later was normal. I know technology has improved in the last several years with these wrist readers but I still don't trust em.

I agree. It's really hit and miss with the quality of the home model ones. I had the same problem with normal cuff model, even with larger cuff. I would also add it is best to test whatever you use just after getting a "normal" bp check done. That way you can gauge if you are getting accurate readings or not. Thanks for adding that...it's been so long since I battled I kind of forget what all I went through.

Tren definitely raises my BP worse than most. Have some meds on hand if you're not already on any, I personally would have Lisinopril and nebivolol on hand in case. Carditone would be worth a shot first. I would also add in good beet root powder from True Nutrition at around 15g daily preworkout or intraworkout as well, it really helps my BP. Adding 6g citrulline malate will also help via vasodilation like the beet root.

I work in a medical clinic so I have access to hospital grade Welch allyn blood pressure/vitals machine

This may seem random, and this is solely based off of my experience, but Tren is the only compound that raises my blood pressure.... BUT ONLY when I’m consuming cheat meals.

I’ll try to explain where I’m going with that...

I USUALLY add a cheat meal immediately after a heavy training workout year round, no matter the cycle.

When I’m on a tren and test cycle... I’ll get elevated blood pressure.

However, when I stop the cheat meals altogether... my blood pressure is back to normal.

Despite being on tren.

I’m a massive fan of sodium for performance (which is a big reason for my cheat meal), but I’m thinking (solely based on my simple, non-scientific mind and personal experience) that tren and high sodium don’t play well together.

Idk if this is relative whatsoever, but it has been my experience and keeping my diet extra clean on tren made my bp go back to normal.

Of course, higher sodium in general may not pair well with most people in general for bp, but it doesn’t bother me thankfully lol.

That's interesting. I do love my sodium, mostly in the form of soy sauce for my rice or in salsa. I don't add a lot of salt to my food, but my wife does. This is something I may have to look at. Thank you
