Blood Pressure 150/100...SHIT

[Palpatine Q]

well thats been cut out as of last year.....i wish it ws that simple....my last 2 drinks were around 4 months ago at some wedding my girl took me to    <wedding reception to be exact>

cardio....and not being so excessive with caffeine i hope will fix it

Yes because everybody here just magically"knows" to add five mins to  your treadmill time that you posted because you don't count your warmup 

Another douche who is afraid that if he admits even the slightest misstep he will burst into flames

[Fatpanda]

i've already told you the simplest solution.  cut your carbs, you will drop water and your blood pressure will come down.

[ToxicAvenger]

quitting smoking was the best thing...that alone will drop it in a few days to a week. also like someone else wrote watch the caffiene and sodium. if the bottom number doesn't go down go to the doc.

man i'm craving a damn ciggy right now 

anything over 90 for prolonged periods can damage the kidneys

i know 

[funk51]

i checked it last night...it ws 150/90something...checked it this morning(upon waking)..high again...


....had never thought of checking it before but my girl has a cuff and so i figured i'd do it for shits n giggles...and i ws shocked...

1.3 yrs worth of sitting on my ass...eating junk....being stressed has caught up.....

i went out and bought me some L-carnitine and did some cardio today...which will now be done everyday....

i lasted 25 mins on the treadmill....15 mins walking and 15 jogging...

n oh...i quit smoking as of this morning ...not that i had a pack a day habit but no more ciggy on the drive home anymore

i won't worry wait till after the second stroke than i'd go to a doctor.

[HTexan]

Fuck dude. Get some meds. Then lose weight, get off meds. 

[Ursus]

Reduce salt and caffine. Instant reduction within a day or so.

[ToxicAvenger]

i've been doing cardio every day since i made this thread....i'll check it in 2 weeks....

1 hr of walking/jogging on the treadmill every day...

if it stays high...i will go see a doctor

[Ursus]

Reducing caffine and salt intake will improve it dramatically.

i'm perfect...you know this already

[ToxicAvenger]

i have reduced caffeine...sigh...and for the next 2 weeks i'm teaching 10 hr classes straight...mon thru sun..and just 1 cup of tea in the morning is killing me...but i'm managing...

the salt...well...since i'm teaching a bootcamp class...for lunch i usually microwave a meal...so sodium is still pretty high since all microvable meals have high sodium

[Ursus]

I also recently cut out all caffine including pre workout supps.

It has no effect on me at all. The first day or so was annoying though.

Good job man and good luck

[The Showstoppa]

I drink beer, drink caffeine and do very little cardio and my BP is spot on.

IOn the morning I had a massive mug of coffee. A pre workout supp with caffine. Then amybe 1-2 cups of coffee after work as well as lots and lots of coke etc.

Sprite Zero tastes great no difference from regular sprite. I am actually drinking decaf coffee as we speak lol Tastes nicer lol

  if caffeine was causing high blood pressure - there would be billions of heart attacks everyday.

REDUCE YOUR CARBS YOU FOOLS.

[Ursus]

Caffine increases your blood pressure.

Medical fact.

[Fatpanda]

Caffine increases your blood pressure.

Medical fact.

literally millions of people drink it every day, including people with triple heart bypasses etc

control your imagination.

[Ursus]

I never said it kills you. I said it increases your blood pressure. Combine this iwth high salt and low exercise it will all have a cumulative effect.

Also I would say that millions all over the world have heart attacks each day.

caffeine is a beta adergenic agonist...so it should raise BP.....

i'm going thr better safe than sorry here mang cause i simply dont have the time to train  like i'd like to now a days....

i can never be as big as u...but i could be bigger...but its just not possible right now for me to train....as much as i'd like to 

[Fatpanda]

i've known lots of juicers - blood pressure through the roof, nose bleeds during workouts etc.

i gave them the same advice - the halved their carbs - blood pressure was fine.

you can also drop calories - but carbs seem to be the real problem.

you don't need to drop sodium, or caffeine.

try it, trust me.

[Ursus]

My BP is fine.

i will also take advice from a Dr as oppossed to you (No offence)

[Fatpanda]

none taken.

I'm not saying its bad advice, I'm just saying you don't have to cut caffeine etc.

good luck with your health endeavors to you both.

my friend...u have to consider that when u train you hold more glycogen...which miiiight lead to more fluid volume and which in turn might cause high BF...

i dont even train,,,i sit on my ass and study and watch myself get uglier by the day....point being...excessive carbs is not the mechanism causing me high BP...since i dont train my body to hold excessive carbs in the form of glycogen..

just saying.
