Thread: Blood Pressure

I've had a presure feeling in my head lately esp when bending down to pick something up. Went to the dr today to get BP taken and my blood presure is high used to be really low like 113/67 now it 157/85 wonder if it's from the T3 or maybe eating takeout too much.

What else can cause a BP spike like that?

The T3 will increase ya cardiac output by increasing heart rate and force of contraction. This results in increased systolic and decreased diastolic BP.

A high sodium intake ( from take away food ) will also raise your BP.
My father recently had a mild stroke ( he is ok thankfully). When i analised his diet, i found he was eating a lot of processed foods high in sodium.. Since changing what he eats to low sodium foods he no longer requires blood pressure medication to lower his BP..

If i were using T3 i wouldn't be eating a lot of take out as well.. Sort of defeats the purpose really if your trying to lose weight ??

Yea it's strange because i was eating worse before and blood presure has always been on the low end so i son't think thats it.

Taking T3 as part of hrt but recently upped the dose to see if it would help loose some bf% I mean most take out i eat is like steaks and snitlzes and thai food not really macca's n shit but a year ago i ate maccas and hungry jack ED and still had low healthly BP

Might have to buy a blood pressure monitor cause it's already highish now if i jumped on cycle now it could skyrocket...

anyone had any exp with these? i seen there about 50 bucks from ebay but can get em for 9 plus 14 postage on greys online.

i've now lowered my t3 dose from 75mcg to 25mcg ED and feel better should be more in the normal range now.

Magnesium is a great supp to help manage blood pressure. I have had BP issues for years and part of my treatment regimen is magnesium.

hopefully i won't need to treat it, my main concern is is how my blood pressure can go from 113.67 (in the althles range) and has been like this over many years when i've had it tested. And then out of nowhere 3 months later jump up to 150.80 (mild hypertension).

haven't taken any gear only drugs i've taken is iburofen, t3 clyomil and arimidex

How is ya BP now you have dropped the T3 dosage ?? If it is back to within normal ranges then you have found the problem..
