Blood pressure

After my Clen overdose, my BP stabilized around 110/70 while on 10mg Ramipril. My normal range is around 130/80.
Clen really does lower BP but raises heart rate for me, might be different for some but as an asthma med it does exactly what it supposed to do.

I don't find the shoppers ones accurate. It's the same as my doctors office readings.. When you use the shoppers onces, you've already driven to the store, (raises BP sometimes), walked the parking lot, walked the asiles etc.. it all gives bad readings.
Doc told me get my own monitor (digital high quality) and take my BP when I wake up, after I've been sitting and relaxed for 10-15 mins and just before I fall asleep laying in bed. Those are accurate readings.
156/76 then within 5 minutes it dropped to 136/69. These reading were taken all immediately after my last set on a heavy workout day. Not sure why but I wanted to see how bad it was while I was still pumped up. People on here are talking lately about taking readings standing and during active parts of the day rather than just during rest.
No magnesium biglycinate? Are your lipids in check? Continuing to do lots of cardio will help. Also some people are salt sensitive and I know the bodybuilding community doesn't really mention that and they say, "noo, you need salt" my blood pressure was ten points higher or more just from not watching my salt intake while eating healthy. I chose cold cuts or salty seasonings because I thought it would help my training.
Very true. Cold cuts should be avoided. I'm thinking about investing in a deli slicer to cut my own. That's always a healthy option
Not all cold cuts are made equally. Some of the commercial stuff is like 20% salt. The stuff I make is around 7%.
I'm a heavy user and I promote it for most folks especially athletes. You are right though, the community at large seems to forget about individual differences from time to time. I believe I've seen at least one meta analysis that suggested around 15% of people are in the same boat as you, that's not an insignificant number.
Nice yea being a butcher you would know best. I think there's nitrates or something too that are put into some cold cuts as well? I was thinking about making my own salami or summer sausage sometime. It's so delicious if it was just healthier I'd eat it a lot more
Nitrates are fine. People go on and on about them but the only time they would be dangerous is if you burned it and inhaled the fumes.
By the time you eat the cold cuts, about 50% of the nitrates have already disapated.
Nitrates in context.
arugula 4,677 ppm
lettuce 2,026 ppm
celery 1,103 ppm
spinach 1,066 ppm
hot dog... ~10ppm
So you'd have to eat 470 hot dogs to get as much nitrate as you would get in a serving of arugula salad.

Is this getting to low?
Not really. 90/60mmHg or below is considered hypotension. You have lots of room with your systolic number. How many readings did you take?
I took 3 all roughly the same.
You are okay, but if you are concerned, take another few readings. I had a 105/55 a couple of days ago and was a wee bit lightheaded (more so than usual) and waited a half hour and it went back up to 125ish over 60ish.
No, unless you have symptoms that indicate there is an issue. 113/58 would be the norm for me with a RHR in the high 40's or low 50's and it has not always been like that. If I had symptoms of low BP, I would bring it up with the doc. Otherwise, I am happy for the low RHR and good BP.
123/80 today. Doing alot better lately. Almost feel I might be able to lower my telmisartan dose down to 20 mg per day. Cardio seems to be helping also.
