Blood pressure

Any bros here dealing with hypertension?

Does weightlifting exasperate it? Do you use cardio to fix it?

This is why eating 8 eggs a day is stupid.

You think it's all due to cholesterol?

Also what are your thoughts on lifting with vasodilators?

90 min of walking everyday and more water will take care of it. lifting helps blood pressure, but it does spike it so short term do light cardio until you can run.

I was pre-hypertension for a small period of time.

What is your height and weight?

Try cutting out all stimulants for a month and see how you feel.

5' 7'', at 165lb ~19% bf

Beginning a cut now

Yea, I will try. Also will try to eliminate all unnecessary sodium from my meals.

I had serious problems with hypertension a few years back.
They put me on meds, nearly denied me my driving license.

But than i kicked up cardio and endurance running. Kicked ALL salt and stimulants from my diet. And boom. 8 months later I'm as cool as a cucumber.
115/65 with a resting heart rate of 55. No meds needed.

Side note the meds give me ED and make me tiered as fuck

oh god not this picture again

my heart breaks into a million pieces whenever I see it

Reduce stimulants of all types.
Reduce sodium intake (remember to replace with other salts)
Sleep more
Yes, genetics can screw you on this.

My family has a history of hypertension (read: southern lardasses), but I have a stupid low pulse and normal blood pressure. Doc is pretty sure if I didn't exercise (powerlifting and sprinting) as much as I did, I'd have high blood pressure based on family.
