Doctor just prescribed blood pressure medication

[ThisBigBastard]

I went in for a checkup the other day and my blood pressure is way up according to my doctor.
He wants to get me on Avapro @ 150mg/day to get it in check.

I've been running 800mg of test cyp/week and 300mg of Deca/week, so I'm sure that may have something to do with it..

I was curious if anyone else here is on blood pressure medication and how it effects your workouts/gains?
I was thinking of just taking a half dose each day to see if I notice any wierd side effects from it.. I've never been on medication for blood pressure before so I dont know what to expect.

Thank you,

Angiotensin II Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to Facilitate Fat Loss: Study & Log

study i ran using an ACE inhibitor (bp medication) to increase fat loss.

as far as workouts, no effect, actually improved my cardio output...i could workout longer and harder without feeling as if i was going to have a heart attack.

as far as avapro sides im not sure, i ran capoten. what i will say i did experience though is some hypotensive feeling (light headedness when i got up too fast or after i pounded out an intense set). other sides i had (not necessarily same with avapro), increased urination, and loss of taste in my mouth.

Why not finish the cycle then get your BP checked again.

How hi gh was it ?

These clowns say 130/90 is high today and needs treatment. At that level long term drug use will hurt you more than a slighlty elevated BP

I would also get a 24 hour monitor to make sure you don't have white coat hypertension

my blood pressure is high when I'm on something . But when I'm off it goes back down to normal . My next cycle I will be taking a bp med while on . It gets up to 160 over a 100 or something like that . Off the other day it was 138 over 78
