I have a bit of a high blood pressure problem. On Max leg days it obviously gets really bad. Any weight above 600 has me seeing stars and my head looks like a tomato. Any of you folks have this problem? Is there anything you do to alleviate this? I haven't tried geared lifting due to what I'm sure will be increased BP. I've passed out from this doing front squats.
Side note: I'm on lisinopril hctz and am about 6' 290 and am 38.

I was just dealing with this Saturday.

After my bench workout, I was seeing spots in the locker room.

Took my blood sugar when I got home (thought that's what it was. It was 99).

Took my blood pressure and it was kinda high.

I was tired and lethargic.

After I ate and stopped moving it got better.
