I used to be 120/80 range and now 135/95 after being on the following for a month, I see that BP is a known side effect but what do I do for it, is there a natural way or by dose reduction?
160mg of testcyp twice a week
350iu of hcg twice a week
Thanks
All, nothing has changed. It is 80 mg twice a week (Thursday and Monday) and 350iu (Wednesday and Sunday) twice a week. I split the 160 dose into two. My systolic has climbed about 20 points and dia about 12-15. I am constantly checking my BP and in a sitting position its 135/91 (the best so far). I have a burning sensation in my face and the body.
I check it at home and at a local pharmacy ....... I read somewhere that elevated BP is a known side effect. I also got my followup bloodwork from Defy that I did today. Just to be on safe side I started baby aspirin just in case if my blood has become thick. Anyone in my kinda situation?
