How do I get this shit under control? I run a mile after my work out, take fish oil, Coq10 and Magnesium but my BP still hovers around 140 - 160/80. I'm 5'11" and 200lbs at 15% body fat so I'm not a fat ass. The only thing that comes to mind is my sleep schedule. I'm average I get 6 hours a night, on a good night. Can that raise my BP and keep it up?
>>75738326>my BP still hovers around 140 - 160/80. It's genetic. My bp on 2 grams of steroids and 250lbs bodyweight is still only 115/70.
>>75738326Have you considered not worrying about it? Blood pressure goes up due to stress as well. > I'm average I get 6 hours a night, on a good nightFix this. If you wake up at 6 am, no screens after 8 pm.
>>75738326>I'm 5'11" and 200lbsYou should be 170-mid180s

>>75738326stress and anxiety can also be a cause. but like >>75738332 said it might be genetic. my parents both have high blood pressure, and a couple people in my family had strokes. docs put me on a small dose of lisinopril at 35, but i'm hoping i don't need to be on them for life. trying to eat correctly and improve my cardio, but i haven't succeeded in lowering it enough to drop the meds yet.
>>75738484My family does have a history of high blood pressure. What sort of high calorie low sodium foods do you recommend
>>75738326Supplements will do jackshit, you need to go to a doctor and get BP meds prescribed Telmisartan is best for lifters
>>75738332That sounds damn unreal, what is your resting heart rate then?
>>75738928>Supplements will do jackshitAlthough most of them individually aren't too effective, stacking several can be. Some are also more potent than others, eating a lot of blackcurrant can even cause hypotension.
isn't lifting (at least heavy compounds) very dangerous if you have high blood pressure?
