I started my first cycle with 500mg test c and I felt great for the first 9 weeks. Around the 10th week I started getting very light headed. I then started checking my BP which was about 160/70. I immediately quit injecting and went and got my bloods done everything looked normal except my estradiol which had went from 20 pg/ml to 100 pg/m. I had been very bloated and retaining a lot of water which I'm guessing is the reason for the massive spike in BP but a lot of my family have hypertension naturally so l think that on top of excessive estradiol made it very bad. What I was thinking was I start back up at a lower dose such as 200mg a week and take arimidex to manage estradiol and also start to take telmisartan and amlodiphine to manage BP. I'm new to all this I'm trying to learn as much as I can but I really want to do this correctly. So if any one has any input on what I should do or any information that would help me, please share if you do not mind. It would be much appreciated.

Cardio?
I would first fix your estradiol management and start doing cardio, LISS is fine 30 minutes a day.
After that if BP still higher than 120/70
Start adding BP meds slowly, not all together. So first 40mg telmisartan and if it's not enough 5mg nebivolol or amlodipine and see from there.
Don't rush too much with adding multiple drugs to combat side effects. There's a good chance after dropping your estradiol to normal (for me that is between 30-50) your BP will get down. Perhaps not under 120 but you'll take it from there regarding which med and how much you'll have to use.
If it's still high you'll have to find a med that's specific towards isolated systolic hypertension, you don't want to drop your diastolic lower than it already is.

Thank you for the input I have dropped my dose to 175mg a week and am taking .5 mg of arimidex a week until my estradiol is good then I am going to titrate off the ai. I would like to stay at 175 for a bit, then if everything is good I would like to bump the dose up to 250 and see how that affects my estradiol. If you think I should do anything differently please let me know. I appreciate the help, thank you.

Cialis absolutely does not lower 5-15 points a day for 90% of the population. There's a reason it got switched from BP meds to boner meds. It sucks for lowering blood pressure compared to everything else out there. 5mg of cialis a day is going to do nothing for someone with 5x their normal estrogen. They need to get e2 dialed in and hit cardio.
the guy alredy started arimidex and lowered his testosterone dosage, so e2d think are in check ( have of course do new blood test )
but with a testosterone dosage of 175mg per week the blood pressure can be easily controlled with lifestyle changes, cardio, supplements, cialis is a valid help and by the way have others benefit
5 mg day put my 136 systolic to 118-122
