blood pressure

Has anyone been able to use in conjunction with or as a replacement for BP meds? I don't have ED, so would only use it for reducing BP and other purported health benefits>

Can isolated systolic hypertension be caused by high e2, water retention etc? I’m on Valsartan 320mg and amlodipine 5mg. AM BP 144/64, PM BP 153/60. It’s pretty frustrating that much medication isn’t bringing it down. I’m getting labs soon but wondering if anyone else has had low diastolic and...

The researchers answered this argument by analysing the 60 foods/food groups and health markers for all 158 countries together adjusted for health expenditure per capita. (They also adjusted for smoking). This is an ideal way to adjust for any ‘affluence = health’ confounder. The researchers...

So 7 days ago I returned from spring break. That was week 4 of trt for me. I drank about 12 beers a day for six days. Put on 5-6 pounds returned to normal diet this last week. Lost 1# water weight. Well now my blood pressure is 160-170/80-90. Which is high for me. Upon return...

I'm in my early 60's, and have worked hard to keep my BP under control. But it just kept creeping up and once I hit the 150/90 mark I asked for BP meds. So I started on 5mg daily of ampolidine. That was one month ago. I could see the pattern as my BP dropped gradually from 150/90 to...

Good morning I am looking for recommendations for an at home blood pressure monitor. Large upper arm so a model with extra large wrap around sleeve would be ideal. Thanks.

Blood pressure If it’s not one thing, it’s another, but this does seem to be some sort of side effect related in one way or another to TRT. Recently, my BP rose suddenly, like one week it was 120/76 or lower, the next week it was 132/92 measured in a clinic. Not sure if it rose in 1 day or...

I had some issues with high BP. I'm currently taking BP meds. I am trying to find out if BiMix would cause my BP to rise or fall. I know its not like taking viagra or cialis and how those can lower your BP. I'd like to get back to having sex. I would appreciate any help.

Sometimes people who use blood pressure drugs become a little fitter and stronger. Some - not all - blood pressure drugs seem to inhibit the break down of muscle tissue as well. Danish researchers, who studied the effect of blood pressure medication losartan on the muscles in healthy men, have...

The most common error in blood pressure measurement is use of inappropriate cuff size. Considerable overestimation can occur if the cuff is too small. The bladder length recommended by the AHA is 80 percent of the patient’s arm circumference, and the ideal width is at least 40 percent. Error is...

My blood pressure goes up with edibles or Marinol for sure (I don't smoke) "Overall, marijuana users had a 3.42 times greater risk of death from hypertension than did nonusers (95% confidence interval, 1.20-9.79), and the risk increased by 1.04 for each year of use (95% CI, 1.00-1.07). The...

Hey searched for some answers in the forum, but couldnt really find a specific one. The thing is that my blood pressure was fine around half a year after I started TRT but the last 1-2 months my blood pressure is often around 130-145 systol and 80 dia, pulse 65. That is quite scary. When I...

So about a year ago I started Losartan. First it was 50mg then up to 100MG. It really never lowered my BP. I averaged about 130/85 while on losartan. I did notice it helped out with erections with a slight increase in firmness. Anyways my doc switched me to telmisartan 40mg ...about 30 days...

Hi Guys I have recently experienced low libido and unable to climax when I do get an erection. I suspect it is my Lisinopril and Carvedilol for my heart that is causing this because my Test levels are good. Went to a doc today who is adding hcg to my TRT and also mentioned something called the P...

Hi guys. i have been on TRT for less than 1 year and recently my hematocrit was slightly elevated (51.2). I was told to donate blood or perform a Therapeutic Phlebotomy. My blood pressure is normal at home (ranging from 110-70 to 120-80) but i have white coat syndrome and my BP at the doctor...

The evidence review focused on adults aged 18 years or older with hypertension and included studies with the following prespecified subgroups: diabetes, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, previous stroke, chronic kidney disease (CKD), proteinuria, older adults...

Research carried out at the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh shows that sunlight alters levels of the small messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO) in the skin and blood, reducing blood pressure. Nitric oxide has been found to be important for the dilation of blood vessels needed to...
