Hello.
Some question:
Is it your first cycle ?
What were your values before ?
The bad night is not related to your values I think. It remains normal for a human you are far from a danger zone. But a bad night's sleep can increase the value much more easily than 100mg of testosterone propionate.
In two days of testosterone there is no risk that your blood pressure will increase either. After a few weeks, yes, it's quite common as an effect.
Nevertheless, there are two medications to reduce this. Telmisartan and nebivolol.
Don't forget magnesium.
I’m going to be very direct with you, because this is exactly where beginners get themselves into trouble.
No, this is not something you should just label as “normal” and push through. A resting BP of 132/87 with a heart rate around 90 two days after starting injections is a red flag, especially when paired with poor sleep and anxiety. It may not be dangerous yet, but it is your body telling you that something is off.
You stacked two esters from day one, including propionate. That already tells me you rushed this. Propionate hits fast, spikes serum levels quickly, and in someone without experience it often causes sympathetic overactivation. Elevated heart rate, restlessness, anxiety, poor sleep and BP elevation are very common in that context. Add first-cycle anxiety, injection stress, possible stimulant use, sodium intake, and you have the perfect storm.
A few important points you need to understand.
First, testosterone does not raise blood pressure in two days via hematocrit. That takes weeks. What you are feeling now is almost certainly nervous system stimulation, fluid shifts, anxiety, or all of them combined. Newbies underestimate how strong the CNS response can be.
Second, stacking propionate and enanthate at the start makes zero sense for a first cycle. You gain nothing and increase volatility. Stable levels are what beginners need most, not fast peaks.
Third, sleep loss alone will push BP and heart rate up. Then you measure it, panic, adrenaline rises, and the numbers go even higher. That spiral is very real.
What you should do now.
Do not inject again until things calm down. Missing a few days will not “ruin” anything, but pushing through anxiety and high BP can.
Drop all stimulants immediately. That includes caffeine, pre workouts, fat burners, yohimbine, everything.
Hydrate properly, but do not overdo sodium. Eat normally. No junk, no massive carb or salt binges.
Get proper sleep. Dark room, cool temperature, no screens before bed. If sleep normalizes, BP often follows.
If BP stays elevated at rest for several days in a row, or heart rate stays high despite good sleep and no stimulants, you need to see a doctor. Not later. Not “after the cycle”. Now.
Longer term advice, and this is where I will be blunt.
You started this without understanding your own baseline response. You should not be using propionate at all right now. A beginner should run a single long ester at a conservative dose, assess response over weeks, not days, and adjust slowly. Fast changes and multiple variables are how people get scared, hurt, or quit.
Steroids are not magic, and they are not urgent. If your body reacts like this immediately, the smart move is to slow down, not double down.
Get stable first. Then decide if you even need to continue!!
