Getting bad headaches while on

My buddy is currently on a test/deca cycle (500/400mg/wk) and he's been getting bad headaches when he works out. I've told him to get his blood pressure checked, which I think he did yesterday.

If it's not from high bp, what do you think is causing it? He taking .25 ari eod, to keep off excess estrogen and water retention.

If it is high bp, what are some natural supps he can take to help alleviate these headaches?

Thanks,

It could have nothing to do w/the juice, but like you said likely increased BP. leads to a pulse in your head when you strain!!I was in jail (Missoula MT) years ago in college and they actually release me because when I exercised I got severe headaches...they though it was going to cause an anurism, so I was set free!

I always take aspirin to thin my blood everyday and it seems to help!!


What????? Aspirin for blood pressure??? That will do about as much for High Blood pressure as wearing a Tin foil hat!

The truth here is this....If you have high blood pressure there is no over the counter remedy herbal or otherwise that will signifigantly lower blood pressure. Do not treat the side effects of Hypertension (IE the headache) and leave the cause alone. Your friend needs to talk to his doctor...and If his Blood pressure is chronic, he will probably have to stay away from Anabolics... I left High blood pressure untreated and it nearly killed me (similar symptoms..headache and nosebleeds)

Definatly do not take the Advice of some guy on an internet message board when it comes to a SERIOUS health concern...especialy when Drugs are a factor.. You could be getting advice from a guy who doesn't even have a G.E.D.
 
the tin foil hat worked for me. but you might have different results.

yes, he should be talking to his doc. whats his diet like? maybe it could be taken care of by just starting a low sodium diet. but definately have him go to see a proffesional.

have a nice day
 
Aspirin

doesn't help with BP, but will help with a heart attack or stroke.

I would go see a doctor, you shouldn't play with your health, you only live once.

How much water is he drinking a day? He should be drinking about 1.5-2 gallons a day!
 
I've heard Hawthrone Berry is supposed to naturally lower blood pressure.
Don't know if it's true or not.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I talked to him last night and you wouldn't believe what I found out. First of all, his bp checked out within the normal range, but when I asked him how much water he was drinking, he said none. Basically, he drinks a pot to a pot and a half of coffee every day and drinks absolutely no water. I couldn't believe it. He said he drinks lots of milk, but I told him that's not the same. As far as his diet goes, I'd say he's eating @250+g/protein/day (he's @197lbs), don't know about his carbs or fat. I told him to cut his coffee at least in half, and to drink 8-10 glasses of water to start. Whether or not he does this is up to him.

Aspirin does not thin the blood. It is an anticoagulant.

HC210

He needs to up that water intake more than 8-10 glasses a day.....

The coffee (caffeine) is dehydrating him....even more......

I am a Paramedic and I would advise your friend to see his Doc ASAP. There are many factore to considerand the steroids are only one of them. How much does he weigh? Any family Hx of HTN? Cardiac Disease? What is his Cholestrol?
Tell him to be honest with the Doc about the steroids.
 
Two pots of coffee in a day would give me a headache. If I remember right caffeine is a diuretic. He probably pisses out 2 and a half pots worth urine for each two pots he drinks.

It would be very difficult to get enough fluid from milk.

I don't understand these idiots that don't drink water. I have a friend who can't even drink a glass of water. He annoys the hell out of me. I will drink 3 and he can't even finish one
 
Urbadside, I understand that he needs to drink more than 8-10 glasses of water, but at least this would be a start for him. I just hope he listens to me.
