4 days into cycle, heart rate high :(

28 years old
83kg
+- 15% BF
3rd cycle

8 weeks Test Prop 100 PGW (1ml EOD)
40mg Proviron LP per day

Started my cycle on Thursday (4 days ago, 2 pins so far) and my heart rate is really high, in the 90s resting. Was 50-60 resting not on cycle. I suspect blood pressure is high too as I can feel the usual warm face that I get when I have high BP and pressure behind my eyes. Hit 40 minutes of cardio this morning and HR went as high as 170 BPM when really pushing it on the stepper, and sat around 140-150 when just doing steady state stepper.

I've taken 500mg Disprin to see if it helps.

Do I try ride it out for a few days and see what happens, or abort the cycle for now? Had highish BP on previous cycle (12 weeks Test E, 500mg per week) as well, but this has come on really quickly, I suppose due to the prop.

List all the medicines, supplements, vitamins, etc. that you are taking please.

Medicines: none

Vitamins:
-Multi (Dischem brand "Centrum")
-Fish oil (4500mg)
-Vit C (1000mg)
-Essential (4 caps a day, Dischem generic)
-Joint Support (Artho Guard)
-Iron supplement (Vital Iron Complex)
-5-HTP (not all the time)

Supplements:
-Whey Protein
-Glumatime in PWO whey shake
-Dropped Creatine and pre-workout at start of cycle as I had been using these for roughly 8 weeks and wanted to give my body a break.

Do you smoke?

Any recent changes to your lifestyle that might be the cause (besides starting your cycle)? Have you injected this brand of Prop before?

Nope, don't smoke and only occasionally have a glass of red wine with my dinner, maybe once a month or so.

No new changes to my lifestyle. Resting heart rate as low as 52 some nights.

First time using Prop and first time using PGW.

In that case I would say it is you pinning a new compound. Test Prop is known to do this. Give time it will go away. Are you taking an AI?

I have A'dex on hand but not running it on cycle. Would you recommend I take it on cycle?

I've read a lot of guys using dandelion root to try bring BP down, worth a shot?

No. AI also cause fluctuations in blood pressure so it is another possibility I was exploring. Now you know with an amount of certainty it is the test prop causing the increase in blood pressure and it is nothing to worry about.

Well I guess nothing to worry about relative to being on anabolics :lol:

So I should just ride it out and see?

What if I were to say I was going to a concert on Friday and would be dancing a lot, any cause for concern?

No cause for concern. Go about your life as normal. If you exercise by dancing or raving or whatever floats your chicken your body will let you know if your blood pressure is a problem.

I have not researched Dandelion Root so I cannot give my opinion there. I advise you to take Garlic and Olive Polyphenols (a.k.a Olive leaf extract). The scientitic back is there and I can tell you with 100% confidence they are extremely effective at reducing blood pressure both from acute stressors as well as in a relaxed state.

Yes have heard awesome things about Olive leaf extract. Thanks guys

Is Pyroclasm plural now?

Perhaps the royal "we" thing?

How many mg per 10 drops?

Have yourself a mouthful of pure Creatine Ethyl Ester powder then we can talk. It's up there with the cinnamon challenge.

I wish I could tell you, it's a pretty vague label on the bottle. Just says take 10 drops 3 times a day.

Even the Phyto Force website doesn't really give too many details on the content.
