Excessive Blood Stress and AAS Cycles
Decrease the Dose for Higher Well being
By George Touliatos, MD
Q: I’ve been utilizing 250 mg of testosterone enanthate (TE) weekly, together with 50 mg of nandrolone decanoate (ND), plus 4iu of progress hormone (GH). My blood strain not too long ago was 140/90; how can I decrease it?
A: It is a average cycle and never HRT that many imagine. You must know that each one anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) kick aldosterone and sodium, and that retains water consequently. It is a elementary mechanism of how systemic blood strain is elevated. Subsequently, that you must decrease your doses in half. Furthermore, GH is thought to trigger fluid retention, therefore reduce your dose in half as effectively. Moreover, including an aromatase inhibitor (AI) can present a aid in edema coming from aromatization and estrogen. Additionally, you’ll be able to stop stimulants like caffeine, but in addition chances are you’ll add a little bit of potassium in your weight loss plan (bananas, potatoes, oranges). Skipping desk salt can also be obligatory. In case your blood strain doesn’t drop right down to 120/80, it’s important to think about taking treatment. Angiotensin receptor blockersor ARBs (telmisartan, losartan) are used amongst bodybuilders as a result of they’ll decrease erythrocytosis and might transform the center (left ventricular hypertrophy or LVH). Should you seek the advice of a heart specialist, you’ll in all probability be instructed to put on a 24-hour Holter to watch your blood strain all through the day. Verify your blood strain each day very first thing within the morning.
