Hey gang,
Trying to narrow down why my BP has shot up in the last few weeks. One thing I added in was King's Blood( 5 caps X 5 days a week), in addition to Clompiphene citrate 50mg X 3/week, additional Tongat Ali, Maca & Horny Goat weed.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Truth be told not only no ingredient in KB increases blood pressure, but HGW may actually lower it. Were you running AAS/PHs before starting the current regimen?

Ok obviously it’s the clomid. Out of all those things it would be the clomid. It’s a drug

Nope, just taking the clomid and KB. It's not constantly high, just random spikes.

Haven't seen any literature to support your position.

If you google clomid high blood pressure it is indeed a side effect that has been reported. Clomid has a laundry list of side effects

I would consider the Clomid also. While Clomid is very well tolerated in the vast majority of people, at least at low doses--and 50mg. 3x week is a low weekly dose--the 50mg. dose MAY, in your case, be enough in a single dose to induce blood pressure spikes. I believe it is the cause of blood pressure spikes in myself when I use it at 50mg./day and above. If you were to look on online forums of Clomid users, you would be able to fairly easily finds threads related to this very question--can Clomid cause an increase or spikes in blood pressure.

You might want to consider switching to 25mg./day dosing. It's just a slight increase in the total weekly dose, and has been found to be safe, efficacious, and well tolerated in clinical trails.

Just to be clear: it's an actual, verified BP increase, not just some hot flashes? The letter may definitely be the clomid.

Correct, readings as high as 161/94. Got Blood work done. T3 was a bit high as well as estradiol. Stopped taking the KB and other supplements. Kept with the Clomiphene and seeing better numbers. Back under 130/90. Thanks for all the input guys.
