I almost couldnt fight yesterday because of my blood pressure. It was 155/94 for the highest,then the lowest was 141/94. I guess I have to take pills for that.I always wondered why when I get dizzy and lightheaded when I get tired. Weird shit,some of you guys might have it.

so getting dizzy/lightheaded are symptoms of high blood pressure? If so I usually get that when im going all out on Squats/Deadlifts

I had that, along with high cholestrol. But, apparently when i fought, i was at the right blood pressure to fight. And this was when i was in shape.

A conditioned body and extreme work outs can hide serious symtoms. Because when/if somthing is wrong you blame it on the work out.

Just go to a doctor.

I was lucky enough when i went to a doctor to get my health checked out, he was a doctor that knew how a boxers body worked because he used to train with boxers and actually help them in there bouts. So besides curing my symptoms he also gave me advise on nutrition.

What is your diet like?

Do you eat a lot of candy, fast foods, drink a lot of soda?

if i ate any/much junk food i probably would. my dad has it naturally (he is also obese) but he had it even when he was a stick like me.

i know it used to be kinda high, just because when i got physicals they would check it several times haha. they hate tellin people under 20 they have HBP, i'm sure, especially when they look to be in good shape. i think my heart naturally just beats a little harder sometime, softer sometimes. i don't think it means your in bad shape at all. just another way genetics screws some people.

if anything i think that my heart hurts my BREATHING. i'll completely forget to breath enough sometimes because if i suddenly switch from going hard to going soft my resting heart beat can get really low and so when i start back up i naturally won't be breathing as hard unless i actually put brain waves to it.

oh well. ****in hearts, ****in genetics, ****in shit.

Yep. Very common in my family. Not too bad right now but somthing to worry about in the future I suppose.

Last sunday i was diagnosed by the physician doing my medical that i had high blood pressure. Sux because he put a nice fat cross over the "fit to box" section on the form.

I have the same thing as you with the breathing. Unless i actually put thought into it ill forget to actually breath properly a lot of times. Even if im just sitting down. Boxing has shown this to me more than anything because relaxing and being able to breathe properly is so important.

Aparrantly its very common in black people which could be true because literally my whole family has it, (mum dad grandparents etc)

I dont eat alot of candy,but fast foods places and soda I do drink alot,but when dieting I dont do those things really. Its hereditary,my grandparents have it.Yet my mom doesnt.

Yeah,****in genetics.I thank them for the physic though.They can have the HBP back though.:lol1: My breathing is crazy sometimes,and it feels as if Im in another state when I try really hard on something.

I think you might not be breathing properly when you do these lifts, that could cause dizziness. Sometimes when people are doing really heavy lifts they forget to breath. Always make a concious effort to breath in when your going down, breath out when your lifting up.

i think my BP is good, but either way when ur gettin checked before a fight ur gonna be all anxios and nervous so naturally ur BP is gonna go higher than it normally would so it would appear u have higher BP than u normally do. i know mine gets higher right before a fight, but i dont believe that no ones BP stays the same from regular every day blood pressure, to prefight blood pressure. everyone gets nervous, and their BP gets higher...

The funny thing is,I wasnt nervous at all. I used to do these medical things for money and every hour they would check my blood pressure and it was always high. At the boxing event I was the only one that had to take it 4 times.

hmmm... i guess its jus genetics for u then. usually my BP is in the very close vicinity of 118 / 72 give or take 4-5 in both systolic and diastolic. on fight night. it is around the area of 135 / 80, cuz i get anxious and stuff. im not nervous, but im still amped cuz i know im about to fight. so i dono wut to tell ya man.

So when dieting you could go without eating fast food say for a whole month or more? Now, thats self control. They got pills for high blood pressure, cholesetroll and all that shit, just go see a doctor.

Yeah Im going to see one before my next fight.I fear they might not be too nice in letting me fight next time.Also Im not turning Pro until I win at least one. Im going to start asking around about up coming fights next month.

Why isn't your trainer aware of where they have fights going on?

Well there not always around here,but I think there is on next month.

The reason i ask. Is because the trainers that i have been training with signed up with USA Amature Boxing so they got an amature license so when amature shows were going on he knew where to go cause he got sent a letter. Also, just keep in touch with other gyms. Sometimes boxing gyms hold there own bouts and they'll let other clubs know about this.
