Blood Pressure Medication

Hello
So I was at my yearly check up through my workplace.
And the doktor says my blood pressure is a bit to high.
It was 166/80
And my Daily morning BP measure reads somewhere around 150/80 each morning.
Im 38. Been working out all my life.
Started anabolics about 1 year ago.
But the high blood pressure been with me all my life.
And it runs in my family.
Living healthy, no drugs or alcohol.
Proper food, sleeping And cardio training.
So im thinking blood pressure medication might be a good idea for me.
Here the problem. Im not sure if I can be honest with the doktor about my steroid use.
He told me after our first meeting that he wanted to put me on low dose beta blockers.
But after my own research this kind of medication dont seem to be very good if I want to keep building muscles and doing cycles.
It seems ARB or ACE might be the best option.
Im going in a couple of days to leave urine and blood for some tests he wanted to run.
Then im getting some kind of monitor device for 24 Hours in 3 weeks time to measure my blood pressure.
I dont know alot about these medications but maybe the blood and urine tests will tell more about what kind of medication i can take.
I want to be honest with the doktor but you see its illegal here in my country.
Does anyone here have more knowledge and experience about these kind of medications mixed with anobolics?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
And by the way, i know im very stupid doing steroids.
But I lived a mostly destructive life up until a couple of years ago.
I always loved the gym. And working out is one of the biggest things giving me some kind of meaning in life
 
I would not tell them about anabolics, especially not in Sweden. Tell them that you’ve been doing reading on beta blockers and you would be more interested in something else, maybe an ARB or ACE inhibitor due to how the beta blockers may make you feel.

It’s your body - you don’t have to accept any drugs you don’t want to (and you are correct in that an ARB or ACE Inhibitor is much more ideal). If your doctor refuses to consider other options, I would find a new doctor.

You definitely do need BP medication though, so take that seriously. You’re wearing out your kidneys with BP like that.
 
Thanks for your answer.
Maybe these beta blockers are the first choice every time someone comes in with high blood pressure.
Im gonna let him know its not for me

Agreed here. High BP is one of these long term conditions where if left untreated it will nip you in the butt eventually.
 
I would make sure your taking care of this. As above this can literally affect you in the long term and could possibly lead to issues in the short term.

I agree ….see if he can put you on Telmisartan.
 
Beta blockers suck. I know from experience. Lisinopril or Losartan are my recommendations. A lot of folks have good results with those two specifically. As mentioned above though any drug in the ACE inhibitor or ARB class is a better option than beta blockers.

Why is ACE better than Beta Blockers?
 
Lisinopril does work good, but just be careful because it can affect the kidneys, especially if someone may be predisposed to kidney issues. I’ve taken it with no issues, but it actually affected my wife’s kidney values after she took it for like a year. If you do go with Lisinopril I would maybe get a blood test at least every 6 months, but if you don’t have any issues, it works great at lowering BP.


Now Telmisartan doesn’t only help BP, but has a lot of other benefits like helps the heart, pancreas, organs throughout the body, and it helps skeletal muscle…..💪
This is a good article….

I've heard Telmisaratan has a lot of benefits outside of just BP as well. Definitely would be my go to for high BP.
 
I wouldn’t even consider that high. I’d just add some carditone. You can get it on Amazon. Start with one a day for a week and reassess your bp. If it’s still elevated you can go to 1 am 1 pm.
 
Or…buy a bodybuilding supplement for blood pressure that isn’t complete crap like stuff found on Amazon lmao. 🤣. $38 for carditone on Amazon or…$32 for SNS blood pressure support xt.
Because it works and it’s worked for tons of people for yrs. Pretty dumb comment since you clearly have no clue what your talking about.

Yeah Carditone and SNS Blood Pressure Support XT are both good supplements, if not too high, and provide other benefits as well. I’m older, so I use both of those.
