Hypertension

[Kloofvreter]

Does anyone here take medication for hypertension? I would like to find out what the side-effects are, and how this would affect gymming (not a cardio workout, but weight training).

I take co-diovan and there aren't really any side effects. If you are gymming it is a good idea to check your blood pressure while active to not overdo it in the beginning.

Best to ask the Dr who prescibed it.
Seriously.

I'd be more concerned by how it would affect my sexual performance or lifestyle. If it doesn't then gymming shouldn't be a problem.

Well, the tests yesterday show that I've got high blood pressure, but I've got to go for another test tomorrow, because I've been drinking the night prior to testing. Hopefully it was just a once-off, and not chronic.
