Running test and primo and my BP is super high. Thinking about dropping the whole cycle. Can low e2 cause high BP?

Long esters so twice a week. Due to work can't inject daily

Small dosages 250 test 200 primo anything over 150 mgs test I need an ai. So I was taking 12.5 mg once a week until primo kicked in.
Went to donate blood and BP was 158/98 and hemoglobin was 19.5. and that's on 20 mg lisnopril.
So I'm thinking of just stopping cycle only 3 weeks in and going back to cruise what you think?

AI use seems a little bit misunderstood… how would dosing aromasin once a week be sufficient if someone needs an AI?
aromasin half life is 24 hours. If you’re trying to steadily control your estrogen… taking aromasin once a week is not pointless, but almost. If you think 12.5 is enough (which most likely isn’t because that’s a silly low dose) then you would need to dose it 3 times during the week ideally. 2 minimum.

Also.. never judge your BP by tests done at the doctor or with someone else in an office. Mostly mostly everyone will have higher BP there due to stress induced factors.
I test my BP religiously EOD and it’s always 110/65 to 121/70.
When I go donate blood or at the doctor my blood pressure is significantly higher. Test at home. Personally I self test at pharmacies since they offer private rooms with medical machines.
But if your BP is that high on such a low dose and you’re on lisinopil too then yes drop that, steroids are not for you.
And I don’t say that to be a dick, some people respond poorly to steroids unfortunately. And the last thing ever that you want is a high BP like that long term, it litterally does so much damage.
stay safe

I
Am wondering if it was due to crashed e2 though as when I wake up and walk around all my joints are cracking.

There definitely could be a reason other than gear directly but estrogen being low I’m not too sure… I have a hard time seeing how you could crash your estrogen taking 12.5 aromasin a week…
Crashing estrogen isn’t nearly as easy as people think… on my first prep (I don’t do this anymore) my coach had me use 12.5 aromasin daily on top of .50 arimidex daily. On 500 test 300 mast 300 tren. And my estrogen wasn’t crashed
what if your estrogen was high?

High e2 would more likely be the culprit due to the fluid retention, but he did say that he was taking primo plus and AI. That might do it.
I just went in lisinopril myself at 5mg a day, and trying to stay at that dose. I donated blood yesterday and I hate that, so I was having a full blown anxiety attack on the check in, dripping with sweat and shaking hands - BP was 126/80, I couldn’t believe that the meds are working that well.
I chalked it up to the white coat syndrome in the doctors office for years, but it is hereditary with my father and a lot of other men in my family having the same issue. If OP is on 20mg already then adding gear, it might just not be for him at this point in life.

Yea the only reason I was thinking it was low was achy joints and every time I stand up my ankles and legs crack. But I feel like it shouldn't be too high of it legit primo.
