Somewhat new to adding GH to my regimen. It's been a game changer for recovery and well being. But fuck. I often wake up with a resting heart rate on the 90 to 100 range. I've been trying to play with electrolytes. And hydration. But haven't had much luck. When this happens. I take my blood pressure. It's normal. Like 120/80 give or take 5 points. For reference I have titrated up to 4 iu a day before bed. Also running 500 test and 2 mg reta. Originally I suspected it was the reta. But I cut the gh for a few days and heart rate settled. Anyone have any advice? My usual resting rate is in the 65 to 75 range depending.
Morning, everything
@libo says seems bang on, but I was the exact opposite and regardless of what the medical sites say. 90-100 (resting heart rate) is not a sign of good health.
Script HGH in the 2-3 IU a day significantly decreased my RHR and can't tell you 100% why. Call it being careful or paranoid I checked my BP which includes my RHR daily or twice a day for years. I now it do it 3 times a week as I can predict what is going to happen.
My BP went up 10 points from memory. There is a thread here for posting your BP/HR - when I started HGH from the water retention and then it settled down by itself over a few weeks to months.
Ironic but my RHR went down over the years of using PED which included long runs of script HGH from 70 to 45-50. I have the RHR of a long distance runner and I am 230 lbs. I am not a cardio guy other than boxing or fun sparring sports and I am not 10% BF.
These are just facts. If my RHR was in the 100 range - I would be at my doctors to determine why. You wants bouts of high RHR for cardio, but no one should have a RHR of 100 sitting on their ass. It is a sign of bad health - don't care what you look like on the outside, its what your insides are doing that matters when it comes to diseases/longevity. Don't overthink that comment - obese people are unhealthy, people who have mental diseases who either purge or won't eat are not healthy.
While you are waiting for a medication (if needed) or to see your doctor do yourself a favour and take a high quality fish oil in a decent amount per day. 5 grams would be a decent amount to start with (would not hesitate to take 10 grams if needed of combined DHA/EPA - I like Carleson's cod liver oil. It is touted to be as good as aspirin for thinning your blood, reducing platelet clumping. I have used both at the same time, but that is a choice. The health benefits from aspirin (low dose - enteric coated is my preference) are somewhat miraculous. The few times I wanted to reduce my BP with Nigella Sativa / cod liver oil - I started high and as it dropped I reduced my amount.
I will repeat it -
@libo already said a lot of things that went through my mind and he is a smart member (understatement), but if your medical system is like ours in this Province it could take 3 weeks to see your doc or longer and I am huge believer in cod liver oil and especially quality high EPA/DHA content like Carleson's. Lots of other supplements work as medicine as well, but I am not a doctor and won't pretend to be. If it isn't obvious - I prefer to treat minor health issues with natural routes but would not hesitate to go on a med if needed.
