*Blue Iguana*

My BP is normal/ low - usually 120/70 or a bit lower - I have used aldactone pre-contest (couple of days) and post-contest (under dr's advisement) and was given a prescription for lasix after my first contest by a dr who was concerned about my water retention post-contest.

Neither of the times they did lab tests did I get a BUN result, which to me seems strange as well given that it seems to be important (unless its called something else that I'm not picking up on...).

I take it, therefore, that I should push my dr for further tests/ investigations? (As I mentioned, no call from their office post-results, its been over a month...).

Thanks again!
