Cholesterol & Blood Preasure

[2themax]

How High Will Cholesterol Levels & Blood Pressure Levels Increase While On Steriods? My Blood pressure is 150/90 and My Bad Cholesterol is 3 Times The Normal Limit and My Good Cholesterol is Only 18% Will This Be Normal During The Cycles? My Dr. Says, That Im A Walking Heart Attack! Or Is She Mis-diagnosising The Actuall Effects From The Steroids? She Is Aware I'm On Them And Is Cool With This But Is Alarmed At The Results.

Your symptoms sound pretty normal which doesn't mean that you shouldn't be concerned. STeroids are not something you do for your health.

This is an excellent example of why if you are concerned for your health, you don't take a cycle lightly, you do your best to maximize the results from your cycle, and why you don't stay on all the time.

I would proceed along your regular plan and pay attention to what happens after you get off to make sure things return to normal.

i've stopped taking everything as of 7/19/04 till i go for my follow up appointment on 8/13/04 per instructions per. my dr. to see what my results will be with more blood work. if your saying my levels sound normal, im not going to worry, i'll just listen to what advice they have to say without an arguement so they dont think think that i know more than them , and then start my routein up again with a better diet. i guess i probably needed the time off for a few weeks anyhow. im still keeping my workouts regular but my poundages are droping along with my body weight. THANKS!!! for the advice and the analysis of my symptons.ill keep you updated on my next visit .take it easy!

If you are really taking enough time off for things to clear, you should be doing the whole PCT thing.

How long have you been on cycle and what were you taking?

Help me understand the pct thing im pretty new at this! Other than that i was taking On my first cycle Deca 400 per. wk. and Dianabol-Methandrostanolone 20mg per. day DHEA 3-25mg a day this was an 8wk. cycle . The second cycle i started was Deca 400 per. wk. Anadrol 50-50 mg per day sus 250- 500 per wk. b-6 200 per day and had just started milk thisle at 600 per day i was only 2 wks. into this cycle when i had my blood checked just for couriosity i guess my 1st mistake was not havin it checked before my cycle started.i did experence deca dick on this cycle and it bothered the hell out of me not having the soldier stand up right even through orgasm maybe you can give me some insight on this problem

Only 2 weeks in, no PCT when you quit.

Skip the anadrol. Lower the Deca to like 300 mg/week, keep the test at 500 mg week.

IMO, the orals are just more trouble than they are worth. Most cause excessive bloating, which gives you the BP problem.

Most people like them because it "jumpstarts your cycle". What it really does is causes to to retain excessive water so the scale says you have gained a lot of weight.

BTW, what are your stats.

my stats at the 1st. cycle was 163lbs. and after the 8week cycle I went to 184lbs. i'm 5'9" tall. Your right the orals did give a lot of bloat but at the time i did not know what was causing it until you just said it i'll take this advice when i start back up to only use the injectables i see the dr. on friday the 13th is that bad luck or what:o i'll keep you posted thanksreally the only reason i started taking the anadrol was to get the jump start my time in the gym is very limited since i'm constantly running around for my company business.

Just got my chol. checked today and everything was in the good to great level. I had a physical done 2 weeks after a cycle and my chol. was high. If you stop your cycle your chol. will return to normal. Just my experience. J.R.

He guys...I'm not preaching to the choir, but if u keep the diet clean ...LDL's , HDL's, & Bp should stay pretty much incheck. Hey I'm at 158 tri -g's total. 110/70 bp baseline, 45 bpm RHR. Maybe just good G'nets...hhhuuummmm?

[Pittbull]

higher then normal BP is a side of gear due to increased water retention..to combat that u might want to watch your sodium intake and or use a mild diuretic like dandelion root..as for the cholesterol..that is a side as well..check your diet for transfatty acids contained in highly processed foods and try to decrease your overall fat intake while increasing or starting cardio..keep us informed

[berealjohn]

Good info Bull! I have to watch diu--tic long term intake...I have found they cause my knees to help like hell due to less lurication in the joints. To offset...I up the daily H2O intake up to 1.5once/lb . H2O which is by the way an excellent dui-tic.BW.
