During my cruise of 40mg Test Prop, 20mg Mast Prop, and 20mg of NPP ED, I have added 40mg of Telmisartan ED in divided doses morning and night. I initially did 20mg ED at the behest of @Neuro for longevity and general health, but my systolic BP is pretty regularly 131-145. According to the latest guidelines, that either Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension and increase my risk of a cardiac event or stroke by something like 25%. So I doubled my Telmisartan dosage and have added 20 minutes of mild cardio at the end of each workout (essentially, 20 minutes on the treadmill @ 4 mph and a 1.5% grade). It’s been about a month now since I doubled my dosage, but only a week since I added the end of workout cardio, and low and behold, BP hit 125/60 this morning! So in addition to its longevity and general health benefits, Telmisartan at a relatively small dosage is significantly improving my BP, and without any of the drawbacks of traditional high BP treatments, such as ED, which I would rather die than suffer. I’ll continue with the 40mg dosage and the 20 minutes of low intensity cardio and measure my BP. If it stays in the 120/60-70 range or drops, I’ll maintain. But if it pops back up or varies, I’ll titrate my Telmisartan dosage to 60mg ED. All just FYI.
