first visit to doctor about roids, he tried to scare me but my BP IS HIGH

[irishdave]

Been cycling for 2.5yrs or so and this is the first time I've went for a full bloodwork.
Current cycle started 10 days ago - 150mg tren/300mg prop/800mg eq (dropping it to 400mg eq)

NEW doctor, never met him before. Basically, I went in the door and he asked what was wrong, I said nothing and said I wanted a full blood test and told him my exact cycle when he wrote down. He was obviously unimpressed from the moment I mentioned gear. Told me his first advice is to go off. Then he checked my BP and it was 160/110. I've always had sorta high blood pressure even before gear. It doesn't bother me too much now but it will in the future. He said he thinks I should go on meds for the BP when I go back to Holland (I'm just home in Ireland for a week) so I should go to a doctor over there and get monitored regularly seeing as I live there most of the time.
He really laid it out to me in simple terms that roids are bad, etc. and to give them up. The usual shit. I've always known my BP was high but never bothered with it too much. BTW I'm 27 years of age. I think fish oils were helping but I haven't used them in a month or two and just got some more.
I think maybe I'm going to first try hawthorn berry, fish oils, coq10 and more cardio. Don't really want to give up juicing.

You're probably going to die soon. Sorry.

Nice!

Nice!

  Last time I went to my dr I told him I was using, he asked what and when I told him he had no idea what I was talking about I simplified it by saying anabolic steroids that he understood. Most Drs dont know fuck all about gear they just use the old, "its not good for you blah blah blah" sounds like its come straight from a medical text book. Your BP does seem high though might want to do some more cardio?

Donate blood every 2 months and add Celery seed extract to your list, probly the best otc for your BP. Baby asprin 1 ED before bed as well.

I keep mine under control on test/t3 with the above and fish oil/coq10 as well. Hawthorn berries I dont care for.

That's it exactly I know the clown doesn't know much about roids but when someone is as adamant as he was about it, it puts doubt in your mind. But I know my BP is high. I'm going to do cardio right now actually and really add in BP supps to see if I can get it down without meds first.

OK, thanks for the advice I'll look for celery seed extract when I'm in town later.

How does he look? Does he train or eat as clean as you? You can have a go right back

I don't eat clean though :p

He was a 55yr old twink in a suit. Ex-cyclist, nuff said. Nice guy but used scare tactics a bit too much during the consultation, I mean he repeated 3-4 times to give up roids.

160/110 at 27 years old ?
Not good bro....

I think I can get it down naturally. Last weekend and during this week I snorted a bit coke, smoked quite a bit of weed and drank a lot last weekend. This definitely will not be helping the readings. I'm not in denial about it that's why I'm going to try the natural route first for a week or so.

Dude be careful.......roids ,coke,weed,booze......dangerous bro.
Train to be healthy and don't kill yourself.
Good luck

I rarely do coke. The weed is something I'm dropping and the coke won't be there anymore except rare occasions. The booze will stay but I'm cutting it down.

It's the shit your on bro. Tren Equipose doesn't matter what support supplements you take some people just get high blood pressure with those compounds. I had to give both tren and equipose up it sucks but I never have blood pressure problems anymore. Test, masteron, primo, npp, those all work for me without skyrocketing bp. When I was on tren I had the same blood pressure as you. At freaken 24 years old. It was the tren making it high. If you don't want to give them up you have to add a beta blocker or something. But beleive me I tried every supplement there is to bring it down and nothing worked!

Dave...when you get back to Holland go to this website...  http://www.vumc.nl
Its the website of the hospital with a anabolics poli where you can make a apointment with an endo who can answer all of your questions about roid usage!
He can do all the bloodwork and steer you in the right direction with your roid use buddy.
Im not saying that the doctor you went to in Irland isnt any good but im talking about a specialist about roids and hgh.
Listen to the specialist i always say...

ps...keep me informed bro...

i got 120/75 constant on 500 mg tren-a and some small test.Coupled with some t3.You guys have really high pressure...I think i'll drop the tren and replace it with 600EQ for cruising a while,going to see if BP stays the same or rises...

Did you try beta blockers with the tren?

pretty much the same thing happened with me. doctors don't know shit. they will read you the same shit you hear about how roids are bad but they aren't even aware there is more than one possible steroid you can take. They've never heard of nandrolone, tren, or any of that shit. just testosterone

Of course, man. He hadn't a fuckin notion what I was talking about when I mentioned the tren or eq, I didn't expect him to. But he was just obviously stubbornly against roids and hadn't a clue about them - just the usual "you're setting yourself up for a stroke, etc" which I possibly am if I don't get the BP in check though.

[notsureifsrs]

Please edit your first post  and mention that you:
do coke (sometimes)
smoke weed
drink alcohol
don't eat clean

and maybe tell that to your doc too
because reading your first post gives the impression that AAS is the only factor for your high BP,
but now we got a whole different story.

Good post.

Tren and EQ make my BP skyrocket. My normal BP is around 120/40.

Then he checked my BP and it was 160/110. I've always had sorta high blood pressure even before gear.

At 160/110 bp - you are a walking time bomb in medical terms. Get on some meds immediately, if at least on cycle. Your age is not doing you any favors with alcohol and narcotic abuse. The hypertension (genetic predisposition) has likely compromised your kidneys already, and will only accelerate damage with hormone usage.

Got a colleague with 180/100 bp. He's been in denial for the last 7 years -- until this year. He finally heeded the last warning about hypertension being the #1 silent killer - with age catching up to him. He's not juicing either.

I was almost kicked out of one clinic, and told 3 times from 3 doctors that they wont help or monitor me.

Health care is free here, but they wont help. BItches.

On the 4th attempt I found a guy.
"thats a nice dose that wont kill you"

Seen him 4-5 times now, I also asked him "how much could I do before its bad"
He said "thats like an alchaholic asking me how much they can drink before their liver fails"

We both had a chuckle...and off I went.

Keep you chin up, you will find one eventually that will give you a hand.
