As you’ve learned by now every answer I give is very simple yet complex. But, I think I know some of the answers to this one.
I feel like I give too many long winded answers. If this annoys you guys please let me know I’ll try to speed the up. But sometimes people want more information and that’s what I prefer myself.
How does GH raise BP? I’ll give the ways I know how this could happen.
-
Generic GH in particular has been associated with a large increase in water retention. Water retention will cause an increased blood pressure. Why? More water in the body causes pressure to build up in arteries and veins. Therefore you now have higher blood pressure than normal. It’s like putting extra water into a water balloon. It’s going to push the balloon to its limit before it explodes. An explosion in a balloon is the equivalent of an aneurysm in the human body. That’s not good.

Why is water retention more common in generic GH? I can’t speak for every generic but what I’ve discovered is whoever is making the GH is adding aldosterone to their GH. Wtf is aldosterone? Aldosterone is a natural hormone produced in the adrenal glands to help retain water and sodium when dehydration occurs. Why the fuck would somebody at aldosterone to GH? Because people associate more side effects with stronger gear. There, Is aid it. If your hands go numb more then they think it’s stronger. But this isn’t always the case. The guys who make it are smart and want your money. They will sometimes use GHRP or ipamorelin and add aldosterone to it to make people think it’s real GH because you swell the fuck up.

Next reason, high blood sugar. There’s a reason why some guys take insulin/metformin with their GH. It’s because when you administer GH your body then begins lipolysis which means you’re breaking down stored fat for energy. That energy is in the form of sugar sugar. And that sugar is in your blood stream now. High blood sugar can cause Edema, which is the fancy term for water retention, especially in the ankles. Look at old photos of Nick Walker for example and you’ll see what I’m talking about. However, when you’re healthy and your blood sugar rises you should naturally produce insulin which will lower your blood sugar. That’s why a lot of guys do morning cardio after pinning GH, this helps burn the blood sugar that was just released due to the GH use.

GH can cause strain on the heart and difficulty breathing. When your heart is under more strain it will have to pump harder to move fluid throughout the body, thus higher blood pressure. This is very dangerous for big bodybuilders. You’ll notice big guys breath extremely hard just having a normal conversion. There’s also more pressure physically pushing against the heart from water retention.
Why do some people’s BP go down on GH?

Two types of Pharma GH are associated with very lower water retention. These are Norditropin and Genotropin. Each Pharmaceutical company has their patented way they make their GH. Which means it’s unique to the company. However the Norditropin and Genotropin GH is produced they’ve done something different than the other companies to reduce water retention. I don’t know what it is but it’s much less water retention than Serostim for example. So if you use a low dosage of Norditropin or Genotropin GH and notice your bp is normal, that’s because of their special way they made it. Plus if you’re losing body fat or body weight that alone will cause a decrease in BP. If someone has high BP and is labeled as obese they should lose weight as the first option, then perhaps use a diuretic.

If your BP went down on generic GH, especially high dosage than you either lost a significant amount of weight/body-fat during the dieting process or GH was fake. Sorry guys. Let’s say you were competing and ran GH and lost 30 pounds and your BP went down, I wouldn’t be surprised because you lost a lot of weight. If you maintained your weight or gained weight and your BP went down something isn’t right. Unless you lab tested the GH or you did you IGF-1 and serum GH levels while using the GH you don’t really know what it is. If your blood pressure did go down as you gained weight then you’re a freak of nature congrats.
Let me know your thoughts on this. I’d love to hear them.
If I think of any other ways it could happen that seem logical I will edit this post.
