Rubberarm9862 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I take fludrocortisone for my pots and I was told that it would help me in weight training and then told by someone else that it would not help because it's catabolic activity in muscles. PLEASE help, anything would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I would assume you are taking the fludrocortisone to keep your BP stable? That is different than what you take for weight training. Sorry to say, with this, trying anything like any steroid to bulk muscle will onkly harm you in the long run. The most important thing is to keep up with cardio and weight training.Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 No you are talking basically about different paths. It is good to keep up with weight training as much as you can. The flu.... helps your BP to stay stable so you CAN exercise. Exercise is our friend. Although right now I am not a great example!!
