Alrite, so I am into week 9 of a 10 week Test E cycle @500 mg/week. Over the past 5 weeks I have noticed my skin seems to constantly be flushed, and very red. At first I thought it was just really dry from the weather, and the skin products I’m using, so I started to lube up and use skin cream all over my body. That did not take any of the redness away.
Now the scary part, I was just standing around at work yesterday, and my left nostrile started to bleed, a lot. The thing is this is only the second nose bleed I have had in my life so it really tripped me out.
I went in and check my blood pressure, and it was 141/82. Which is pretty high. I plan on going to the doctor tomorrow, but I thought I would check here and see what you guys had to say. Thankfully my cycle is almost finished, but I do plan on future cycles, and I would perfer for this not to happen again.
How much weight have you put on and since you began your cycle have you been breathing heavily ? Also if you had already been to the gym ,before you had your BP taken ,that may have altered it a bit.

I have put on quite a bit of weight. Any yes I do breath heavily at some points, also noticed that my heart beats really fast just out of the blue.
No I check my blood pressure all the time and its usually around that mark while ive been on this cycle.
I have been doing cardio with all my workouts, and also keep my sodium intake pretty low.
Couldnt book an apt with my docter untill the 19th, so ill have to keep a check on my bp. Any suggestions that will help me keep it down?

Ok , so your sodium is low and your keeping up with mild cardio.
Try upping your magnesium intake. Eat 2-3 bananas a/day and maybe even supplement magnesium tabs. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 250-500mgs/day. To be honest I can’t remember where I’ve read that increasing your magnesium intake aids in lowering your blood pressure. I also struggled w/ high BP and this helped out.See your Dr. regardless.
