My doctor said my blood pressure was up a little higher than it should be. I was just wondering if my use of caffeinated pre-workout supplements could be a cause?
Thanks

I am coming to the conclussion that they do. I have the SAME problem man. Every time I take a pre-workout supp I feel some what dizzy during certain exercises (especially when I am sitting and stand up fast etc), and seem to get headaches more often. The bad thing is the headaches seem to be directly related to high BP, I can practically feel my head throbbing full of blood lol. Not sure if its the combo of NO boost + Caffeine or what, because caffeine by itself does not make me feel like that. Anyway I would just watch it, if it persists then cut it out. Good luck man!

I'm taking vasocharge. I forgot the exact numbers, my doctor just said they were a little high for somebody my age. He said it's nothing really to worry about, but I should just keep an eye on it.
I was just curious if N.O. products had an affect on blood pressure, and if so, would switching to a non-caffeine product help?
Thanks for the replies.Team Animal

Thanks a lot for the responses. I have been testing my blood pressure again and now it's consistently around 131/76, which I figure isn't too much of a concern. However, my pulse rate was at around 83.....kinda high?
Don't mean to hijack my own thread, but do pre workout supps affect resting pulse rate?
Thanks again.Team Animal

I took a some nano vapor other day (full free packet) and
afterwards I was lightheaded and dizzy. I have perfect consistent
bp and I checked it expecting it to be up but to my suprise
it was low. Never happened with no xplode though. I cut down
to a third of package and didn't have any dizzyness. Just my 2 cents.
