No PMO : High Blood Pressure. Has anyone else noticed?

So far 5 men. It’s becoming a pattern. Others - please chime in. Thanks

 

That’s why we need more men chiming in then ask them to add this to the list

 

Haven't noticed it. But, maybe your blood pressure is returning to it's "normal".

If you are sleeping better, eating better, living a healthy life. I know I hate the phrase "at your age" (mostly because I've been hearing it more and more recently). So, I'll say, at my age BP can be a problem if I don't keep my weight down. By the way we're almost the same age (sorry).

I visited all possible doctors already. The high BP seems to have faded. But palpitations and tachycardia seem to come back randomly. Doctors say everything is fine with my blood values and my heart.

Personally I suspect it comes from anxiety which is caused by withdrawal.

 

I heard stress can also elevate your blood pressure, but I never heard of a correlation before now.

 

I have felt the flutters now and again and sometimes feel heartbeat through my throat. I honestly think this is to do with withdrawal and the abuse of our central nervous system.

 

Hi everybody,

i wanted to describe my symptoms about nofap/high bp.
But first my nofap history:
I started nofap in summer 2017 for the first time.
After some days i really experienced some positive impacts on my life.
I was more 'awake' somekind. But there was also a negative impact which was an inner anger, i was raging very fast.
Sometimes i even threw things through the room against the wall only to destroy something.
At that time i thought that this behaviour was due to my 'new masculinity' and not related to high bp.
But i stopped nofap because to exams and my behaviour returned to normal.
Then it tried it once again in fall 2017 after my exams.
After some weeks i felt very bad and consulted a doctor who has sent me to some others specialists, but i was healthy except that he measured an increased systolic value (only the upper part of the blood pressure is high).
A week later i even had a nephritis (kidney problems) which i today would attribute to the high bp.
Again at that time i wasn't aware that these kinds of problems could be related to my nofap.
Then a week before Christmas is started nofap again and i know have a high bp (isolated systolic hypertension) again.
I will soon consult a cardiologist.

This leads me to my questions:
1. has anyone experienced a high bp but that it lowered with time of long nofap? (i.e. that nofap could work in the long run)
2. are there any studies about this?
3. should i stop nofap? i am a bit a frightened about the consequences, especially kidney problems

 

Thank you Anurag12 for your advice, i will take those seriously.
the dopamine induced anxiety you are describing could explain why i suffered from nightmares the last weeks, never had nightmares before
What do you mean with high? my is at ~ 150/90 in the evening.

 

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now but I felt I needed to give my experiences here as they are BP related.
I've always been a healthy, sporty guy but a few years ago fell ill. I had developed extreme swelling in my legs which progressively worsened and I felt irritable constantly. I was rushed into hospital after my BP readings were very high 170-190/95 (at rest) and my kidneys were leaking protein, indicative of inflamed kidneys. Everything else was fine about them.
Back then I never linked this to PMO. Didn't even cross my mind and tbh i never even considered an addiction.
Since then I have tried everything from extreme medication (regret taking this), keto diet, relaxation techniques, paleo diet etc etc. all fairly controlled. Had no consistent positive results and so have had to deal with these symptoms since, as per doctors recommedations.
Then a few weeks ago I began to read about nofap, pmo etc and everything resonated with my life. I could write a book about my PMO experiences and will happily elaborate. For now though I will say that I was shocked and I immediately stopped PMO cold turkey. Been through the usual withdrawals since but have noticed that my BP has slowly started to creep down and I feel more relaxed (used to get a pulsation in temples at night on side) and notice that after any mild exercise that I calm down quicker as if my BP is more under control.
Its early days but I'm convinced that BP and PMO are related, perhaps as some have said due to CNS /limbic system screwed up (perhaps it effects some LowBP and some HighBP). I'm very strong at committing to change and will keep track of my BP regularly. Literally just checked it and 140/82 was read. Normally I'm about 155/90.
Looking back to my past, I had a period where I suffered from panic attacks and anxiety (mainly whilst watching movies or stressful football matches. HighBP always accompanied). These lasted about a year and then disappeared but never linked to possible PMO/withdrawal etc. (I had periods where I was away travelling with little access to internet). Could this be an explanation?!
There's very little professional advice to suggest it but these forums make me wonder whether this is the reason for everything I've been through my life. I'm ready to find out!!!

 

guys mine is high, my prev check read 160/100 and for the several times I got checked it has never gone below 130 when 120 is upper limit of normal. I'm 21 y/o.
