Is anyone pumping and taking blood thinners?

Personally no, but if you do be prepared for petechaie if you use too much pressure and likely bruising. Keep it at <5hg or you'll suffer.

Only aspirin or beta blockers for me. I feel like I growth faster and easier with the aspirin, but I can’t actually say for a fact that’s true since I’m usually high as a kite while I pump.

I'm on BP meds and low dose asprin, so not exactly blood thinners. But I rarely go above 5"HG myself, even though I could probably do it. I don't. But I still pump fairly regularly without issue. Every so often I do go a bit overboard, but it's not any sort of what I'd consider severe side effects. But like some have said already, actual blood thinners are much stronger than a low dose asprin is. I would NOT recommend pumping at high pressure at all. So don't go above 5"HG or the risk is pretty high for burst blood vessels (Petechiae) . Also, someone was saying elsewhere that if you get a blister, the potential for it to turn to a blood blister rather quickly is also quite possible and open wounds such as blisters and the like, take much longer to heal.

I take inhuman amounts of advil and aleve for back, neck and hip pain. I’ve never had issues but I pump at low pressure.

Sometimes I boost up to 5-7 hg just for kicks but nothing excessive. But still, I haven’t had really any blood blisters or anything, but I’m very careful.

I have heart disease. I take a whole host of blood thinners and have done so for fifteen years. i LOVE to pump at 10hg no problems, no blood or water blisters and no loss of feeling.
