[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 224714, member: 18023"] I have been resisting taking blood pressure meds for some time now. My main reasons are both side effects and interactions with drugs / supplements. My BP has been all over the place. I have seen a few days 3 months ago with 190/90-100? but 1 month ago 107/75. Those high readings pushed me into really taking action. After those two high readings I did take 1 BP med in my stash, triamterene/hctz, which really knoked it down for a day. (I tend to stockpile meds, I have quite a few antibiotics/pain meds along with a couple of different BP meds). I tend to react strongly to stress. Just before posting this my BP was 114/72. For me, it's better to use a weekly 12 hour morning / 12 hour evening average. Using that, morning week 2 was 132/88, week 1 120/80, evening week 2 122/80, week 1 116/74. I have found 1/2 teaspoon of gaba to be quite effective in lowing BP, but I take this 2-3 times a day. Also twice a day, aged black garlic. My plan is to lose 20 lbs, so far I have lost ~5lbs. My BMI started at 26.4, now 25.4, I have been on TRT for ~12 years, my total T has been as low as 541, as high as 2000, though most of the time the high is 1400. Hard to tell as I use testosterone undecanoate (10-12 week for each injection) and it depends on how soon after an injection I care to measure. I was a little surprised that recently while my total T was ~650 my dht was 81 ng/dL 30-85 scale). My HCT is never very high, 48.1 is the highest I have ever seen it. I am 69 years old and just this week started a full time job after 20 years of retirement. No idea how working will effect everything. I think it will make it easier to lose weight since I there isn't food around me all day long and I can't snack. The biggest change so far is having to be on a schedule and much less free time. If losing weight and the supplements stop working, I guess I have have join the crowd and go on BP meds. [/QUOTE]
