118/80; the doc put me on the “prils” but I’ve never really had high BP, maybe pre-borderline pre-hypertension.

120/80 last Friday.

It was approaching 140/90 while taking 50 mg of prescription Anavar, which I decided I am no longer going to take. Anavar raised my blood pressure, raised my liver enzyme values, and screwed my cholesterol. IMHO it was not worth it for the negligible results I received while on it combined with insomnia.

I avoid tablets but maybe use one only at peak cycle.

Just had mine taken during my yearly gastro checkup 134/86, highest I’ve ever saw it read and up quite a bit since I gave blood a few weeks ago. Definitely about to start using the 5mg of cialis a day and order a home bp monitor. Any recommendations on one to purchase?

I have an Omron 10. Very easy to use, it takes 3 readings and gives you the average. Saves the readings for 2 users, can send results to an app through Bluetooth too I guess, but I don't bother with any of that.

How much does 5mg of cialis daily lower your bp’s? Are there any other known benefits or risks associated with cialis outside the obvious dick pumps?

I get nervous at drs or even taking my own at home so that makes it way higher hesrt rate higher too, when im calm its usually fine.

Ive been taking cialis too but find i cant sleep at all on it so thats saved for special occasions.

Saw my pcp today and had two bps taken One by the tech and one by the doc:
142/88 and 134/90. Gonna look into some supplements like hawthorn berry to see if that helps knock it down a bit.

I’ve heard they can be rough and I think that’s why both my pcp and my cardiologist won’t give me bp meds right now.
