Low blood pressure

[Eddie.]

Thanks guys for keeping the thread alive.

I'm already doing salt caps, but it only seems to temporarily increase it, and fuck, it makes me retain much more subcutaneous water.

That's my BP right now, but it shouldn't be an issue, because from what I understand, what is meaningful is the MAP, which is at 64.

By the way, it’s because I’m taking 5mg of Nebivolol in the morning and 40mg of Telmisartan in the evening. I’m doing it to prevent LVH, and without Nebivolol, Trestolone makes my resting HR shoot up to almost 90-100.

Maybe I should lower the Telmisartan dose to 20mg instead.

IMO that diastolic looks dangerous, i would drop the telmisartan completely. Nebivolol is ok if you're dealing with high RHR but taking a blood pressure medicine proactively while it might cause you problems by itself i don't think it's a good idea.

R u taking magnesium? That will lower your blood pressure and you might be sensitive to it.

Also if you have big arms those blood pressure machines can be off by as much as 30 points.

Yes i'm taking 500-750mg before bed but it doesn't reduce my BP. I had the same BP before i started magnesium. My arms are 18,5-19in but i've bough an extra XXL cuff which goes a long way. I think this could be an issue if you're fat. My arms are lean and veiny, i think it's not that difficult to find the pulse and get a right measure.

As a side note, medical error seems to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, i don't always go with what modern medicine tells me what i should be doing. I interpret the data and take responsibly for my choices.

Your Health Care May Kill You: Medical Errors - PubMed

Recent studies of medical errors have estimated errors may account for as many as 251,000 deaths annually in the United States (U.S)., making medical errors the third leading cause of death. Error rates are significantly higher in the U.S. than in other developed countries such as Canada...
