How does a pro boxer have high blood pressure?

[WhitehouseTKO]

REAL QUESTION IS: If you have high blood pressure, cool no problem, why wasn't your medication and doctor prescriptions not issued to VADA before testing began so it can be taken into consideration?

The causes of hypertension are multifactoral. Hereditary predisposition plays a huge role. Oftentimes it's idiopathic (no one knows why) and many people with hypertension have renal (kidney) etiology.

Because a pro boxer is stil human. Bad diet/habits could also be a cause.

It can be hereditary. No lie, I can remember to this day back in like 2nd grade, this kid from a few streets over came over to hang out with the neighborhood bunch. Well, he wanted something to eat and I started grabbing some chips or something and he was like "No, I can't eat anything like that."

I asked him why and he told me that he had high blood pressure and had to be on some type of medication to keep it in check. He wanted some fruit or juice or something like that, nothing fried, no saturated fats. Keep in mind, we were around 8 or 9 years old at the time too.

Well i suppose every athlete doesn't disclose their medical history in public. Or maybe they declare their medications for genuine illness to the drug testers, so they're aware and it's not an issue.

Another thing is that there is also certain things in the medications that keep getting added to the list of what's banned and what isn't. You could be taking a prescription medication from iberogast that contains something that becomes banned but was perfectly legal before that.

It can happen due to factors like genetics, lifestyle, or medical conditions that affect the pancreas. Some athletes may develop Type 2 diabetes later in life despite their physical activity, though it’s rare.

Nobody mentioned steroids yet. At the very least, they cause high blood pressure while on cycle and for a while after. All the other reasons mentioned are valid, but this is pro boxing, so this is worth mentioning too.

I think it's hereditary too. Granted when I was last checked and it was high, I was eating pretty good so I didn't buy it other than that it had to be hereditary. Nowadays, the way I've been eating, I'm owning it, lol.

What blows my mind are massive dudes that take roids up the arse, lift massive to get on those Mr. Olympia competitions and they're like 6'5 or something. Just massive human beings. How on earth does the heart pump blood to go through all that mass? I'm pretty sure the heart size doesn't increase but there I could be wrong. It's like you got a 4 cylinder engine sitting in the frame of a V10 car.
