Slightly OT/ High Blood Pressure

jessekib · 03-04-2008, 08:41 AM

I have a physical tommorow for a new badass job and my BP is sort of high, high 130's to low 160's/ low number is fine in fact always lower than 80. I cardio 5 days a week and its still that high. I was told by the HR guy at this company that high BP can keep you from getting hired. (job is in the oilfield industry) Could i take Hawthorn berry to lower it temporary? If not what the hell can i do?

Im not on a cycle right now and my last cycle was at least 6 months ago....proper pct and all. I figured you guys would know a hell of alot more about bp than any other links in this board.

I have my gear for my next cycle(test e. 250, deca 300) but will not take it if i can't get my BP down.

Yes you can use haw. berry to help a little.

Usually, when they say HBP will stop you from getting hired thats related to VERY high BP.

Have you ever been placed on medication? Lisinopril? Diovan?

If not, they really shouldn't be able to hold it against you. And if you have had prior medications, if they were able to keep it under control it shouldn't be any issue.

I suggest you request Lisinopril. Its can be used mildely at first prescription (5mg-10mg/day) to where Diovan is a mixture of 3 different types of medications.

No I don't have healthcare so i havn't ever been on medication.........but this new job has awsome healthcare so I am putting my BP on the top of the list.

My whole family on both sides has High BP.....and not obese. It runs deep in my cajun blood i guess. lol.

Should be ok.
Tell them you're nervous while they are taking it because you haven't had a physical in a long time. If you are or not, saying that helps them think if its high it could also be attributed to that.

Good idea. Thanks for the help

hm.. lisinopril COULD help but i would suggest something more like Coreg as far as precription meds go. hawthorne berry helps, but its not ideal if you have consistant high BP. and as mentioned earlier, most people wont decline you a job from BP like yours, it usually has to be pretty bad.

and watch yourself when on cycle... having high BP + being on cycle = a little scary.

i had the same issue before getting hired at ensign drlling they had a physical and i didnt even get to attemp becasue my blood pressure was over 140
they gave me a week to get it down i talked to doctors and they wouldnt prescribe anything becasue to them it wasnt that high. Long story short they wouldnt hire me although it was just slightly over their limit of 140

You have a beautiful wife and beautiful daughter. You could go to jail or lose your job because of steroids. Why in the f*** don't you think of them before shooting yourself up with this s***! Or is your appearance more important to you than them!
