Blood Pressure

[Oig2214]

No I’ve had an ekg done but trying to get my dr to order me an echo is like pulling teeth , going to see if I can get one ordered this winter

Ah ok man. I have read that a diastolic and systolic blood pressure difference that is very high can be seen in things like aortic regurgitation. I’m sure your primary doc or cardiologist would have heard a murmur though. Still maybe worth checking out if the diastolic pressure is consistently that low with a normal or above avg systolic.

Appreciate the info bro , it’s been roughly a year since I got the ekg done. They didn’t see any LVH or anything but after looking up what an AR is I’m really gonna try and press for an echo because that seems like a much more accurate test.

In my ongoing battle to get my BP down, I got a script for telm at 40, then asked the doc to bump it to 80 as it didn't do a ton.

Then added 10mg of ciln and then bumped to 20mg.

For a few days I had no telm and my bp remained steady. So I have dropped that dose down to 40mg as I don't know if 80 is warranted.

Currently at 40mg telm and 20mg ciln before bed and average morning bp is:
128/78

Seems like this is about as good as it is going to get. Currently off cycle for 5 weeks, just running TRT @ 120mg.

That’s decent BP. Also keep in mind. Changing BP me dose or compounds takes about 30 days to see full effects. Not much Happens within days of a change

Increase the telmisartan dose to 60 mg. If that’s not sufficient, go to 80 mg. Telmisartan has been tested in studies at doses up to 160 mg per day without an increased occurrence of side effects. Personally, I would recommend splitting the dose, for example taking 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg in the evening. With the option of increasing telmisartan to 120 mg or even 160 mg daily, you can initially avoid adding a third agent.

As the next step, I would rather add 1.25 mg–2.5 mg of nebivolol daily instead of using a diuretic. The latter come with side effects such as electrolyte imbalances, increased tendency for muscle cramps, and reduced performance, which are disadvantageous for strength training or bodybuilding.
