Holy shit.. hope you're doing ok man...
Yeah brother for now, Just pretty bad headaches and legs feel weak. Have to pick up my prescription tomorrow morning. I’m not sure if the name of it yet . All I know is it’s an ace inhibitor with 2 different medications in one pill.
coversyl plus?
Perindopril 4mg once daily
Is the doctor advising you take your BP at home, with a cuff that fits properly at the same time of the day (everyday) and keep a log?
Do you have a follow up with the doctor after being on the Ace inhibitor for a few weeks, to see if you have any improvement?
If not, call for a follow up and please monitor it yourself. There are lots of self care and supplements that work amazing for BP issues but pharmacology usually beats 'most' of them.
I am glad they caught it early and you are being treated, but just as important is finding out what the root of the problem is or is it genetics. Remove the cause and you no longer require the medication or may not.
Do you mind me asking what you are taking in the PED class right now?
Best of luck!
Yes I was also prescribed a cuff , I will be monitoring at home and logging , Believe it or not this is my off cycle and I’m currently only taking 150mg Test E per week , My iron is also low it’s at a 10 and I’m also getting an appointment for a sleep study. I was told to drop my body mass down from maintaining a 303lb physique to atleast a 230-245lb to start. As far as well liked PEDS I love tren and always take it . And I don’t take many orals and clen is a staple and growth.
When I go shopping certain locations some have sit down blood pressure machine available at the pharmacy. I double check my home machine with the one at the pharmacy. That's how I found out that I have high blood pressure before I had a home machine. How old are you if you don't mind me asking 
. Thanks and glad you found out about your high blood pressure before you heart popped out of your chest.

So just my experience with both here. I had a wicked cough and some dizziness on the Perindopril. I asked to switch to telmisartin and the cough/dizziness went away and my BP went down some what faster especially the diastolic. Not saying that this side effect will happen to you but if it does then you'll know why and should probably request a switch.
Just a maintained 50 or 60 lb weight loss alone will have a major effect on blood pressure
That’s my plan now is the weight loss and increase cardio, I’ve even meal prepped today as if I was doing a cut . But I won’t be taking anything that increases blood pressure or heart rate.Just a maintained 50 or 60 lb weight loss alone will have a major effect on blood pressure
Do yo by any chance have Sleep Apnea?
I ask from having high blood pressure experience and sleep apnea was a big problem.

They think I might , They are sending me for testing with a machine I have to bring home
I posted about this on here in other areas before but I've taken three different blood pressure medications at the same time and they didn't do the job because I was practically not breathing all night which made my blood pressure sky rocket to even higher then what you had. My oxygen levels dropped every night.
I was always tired and could have 2-3 naps a day but it didn't help with my fatigue because my sleep was pretty much useless or even had a negative effect due to not breathing during the naps either.
I then did a sleep study (one without a CPAP and then another night with one in order to find the right settings for me) and found out that I had severe obstructive sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine.
They now have APAP machines that will adjust the settings automatically.
I probably don't even need any blood pressure medication anymore but I still keep one for now even though I believe it is sometimes even too low. I should check it more and probably get off that last medication completely.
I hope you look into this and find out what's going on...
AAS and especially certain orals and other supplements can also sill increase your blood pressure as I'm sure you know.
Thank you & good luck,
OD
Thanks OD , I really appreciate your concern and all the valuable information your have provided. This leaves me with avenues to look into and ammo to go to my doctor with. As what happened to you , I’m also always tired and never feel rested . I can fall asleep in my car when the wife is in the grocery store shopping . I’ve also started taking a 28mg iron capsule daily to see if it helps with the fatigue where my iron is low .
Is it iron bis-glycinate you're taking? Or heme iron? Might want to add a B Active complex and some vitamin C for absorption. If all else fails may have to look into an iron infusion. I usually do a liquid B Active complex with liquid iron bis-glycinate and wash it down with some OJ. It's helped so far. Hope you get sorted out.
I take 6mg coversyl (perindopril)…no issues. I’ve checked with my doctor about switching to Telmisartan. She was fine with either drug, but did not know much about telmisartan so while there she called her husband, who’s a cardiologist and asked his opinion. He preferred coversyl. I asked about all the additional bodybuilding benefits from telmisartan and he said you got the exact same from Coversyl, but less side effects long-term.
How fast did your pressure come down ? Or was it very gradual?
About 30 days to get full benefits.
Had a run with ACE inhibitors about two years ago when doctor prescribed and the dry cough was nasty along with potassium going through the roof. Convinced doctor to prescribe Telmisartan and so far, so good, love getting the extra added protective benefits of this medicine, but need to convince doctor to add Nebivolol to bring heart rate down a bit, that's gonna be a tough sell.
Happy with the 40 mgs, won't prescribe anymore tho, but that's ok...
Lots of research to back up this medicine along with Dr. Thomas O'Connors' approval as a must addon for people on TRT like myself...
Good Luck!
