That was definitely the case then...it was average about 150/105 and think it shot to 172/110 just once.

They gave me a shot of something and it did very little to bring it down and then with the second shot it began to get into an acceptable range. The anesthetist was telling me for a bit they might had to have postponed the surgery if they couldn't get it down. Then I kept telling the idiot that his comments and talking to the nurses about it, all which I could hear, should wasn't helping it to come down at all.

Since yesterday morning and as of about 10 mins ago, I have been checking it with the BP monitor I bought and it has now averaged about 130/95 which isn't high, but slightly escalated.

Given that both of my parents have high blood pressure, not just elevated, something tells me alot of it is mainly due to my genes.

For those on lisinopril or other typical prescriptions for blood pressure, are you able to still take supplements such as DCP, Shred Hardcore, Lean Xtreme (was planning on my upcoming post-surgery stack) and use preworkout supplements like Ragnarok?

I plan on getting mine down with diet and exercise before I use any stimulant type fat burners again. Cardio is becoming more important to me and my interest in weight lifting as I get older seems to be going away. In other words I would rather be weak, skiny and healthy rather than big and strong and ready to have a heart attack or stroke. I still lift, but cardio is much more important.

[fatburner2007]

Definitely agree with you on that!

Before my surgery I was really into lifting and did very little cardio. Once I am recovered and back in the gym, my focus is going to be cardio going forward with some weights on the side.

I still take stims and drink coffee...just fiinished a DCP?LVR cycle with no problems....20mg lisinopril ED

[fatburner2007]

Anyone tried C12 peptide?

[Don Corleone]

What's everyone's dose of lisinopril? I'm on 10mg ED right now and my BP is still hovering around 140/80...24 y/o 232 lb. white male if that matters...my BP was 160/90-something when I went to the doc the first time. Been on the med for 2 weeks now...

[ozarkaBRAND]

I'm 10mg ED too.. BP usually sits around 120-130/60-80

But, I'm only 180lbs..

[corndog]

10mg is standard starting point to see if that is enough to lower it. Lisinopril is a effective and clean med so unlike some of the others ed isnt much of a issue. Ive been on it for a couple years and never went above 10mg. Probalby will take up to 3 months to see how low it will get. 140/80 is fine. Even if it stays at that level your Dr. shouldnt increase dose or add anything.

Try a garlic supplement 1 to 2 times a day. Eat oat bran, or oat meal every day/ or night. Take fish and flax seed oil. You can't go wrong with this stak, it will lower cholesterol and BP dramatically.

Good luck.

[corndog]

I do all the above other than the garlic. I have added lots of fresh vegis lately and bp has been lower. Yesterday 122/82.

[Mass Hole]

That sounds about right. (120/ 80)

Also try switching to natural " sea salt" You need salt, but not that crap morton makes. Get the stuff thats mined in Utah, all natural and full of micro minerals your body needs and knows what to do with once you eat it. Can't say the same for the refined stuff.

[corndog]

never heard much about sea salt as far as benefits

[fatburner2007]

Anyone on Triamterene-HCTZ (Dyrenium)? Is it essentially a water pill?

[ozarkaBRAND]

doc uppped my dosage to 20mgs per day...

[fatburner2007]

How come they increased it? Sounded like you were right in line with the ideal range.
