Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I've been taking 40mg HC for the past 3 months. My temps are stable during the week, but they drop during the weekends, because my house is colder than the office where I work. So I've been wondering if I should add some more HC. Here's what's confusing me: my blood pressure has definitely increased after being on HC, it's around 130/70 while laying down. But when I stand up, my BP falls to around 120/70. So while my laying BP is higher than normal, which is a sign of too much cortisol, my BP falls when I stand, which is a sign of low cortisol. Does anybody know what this means? -Jung Quote
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I should add that I don't have any other symptoms of high cortisol. I've also been off Armour for a couple weeks, since I raised too fast last time, and I'm taking a break before trying again. > > I've been taking 40mg HC for the past 3 months.
