Hi Blood Pressure on TRT, hematocrit is elevated.

[srichnc]

I have be on test cyp for about 5 months at 150 mg per week. The last couple of weeks I have noticed my heart beating hard. I checked my blood pressure & it is HI. Got blood test & my test levels we 1450 & my hematocrit levels are just over the high range. Not sure if I should see doc of give blood. The problem is I have a sinus infection. Please help. Thanks

Test is pretty darn high for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Assuming ng/dL. What does your E2 look like?

Certainly donate blood soon . Make a habit of going every couple months.

yup... donating blood should fix the issue.. talk to your doc about lowering dosage

better yet dont tell your doc and cut the dosage a little less than half and save what you can, youll save money and some quality gear. But get another full pannel test done so you know what kinda shape your in. Also get in the habit of donating blood as they had stated

Donate blood...FAST!!!!
How many days out from the injection did you have this blood work done that shows the 1450 ng/dl?
how old are you?
Did the doc recommend anything to you to maintain your fertility?
I don't remember having Total T that high with even 180 mg/week of Test.

I'm with Austinite. Need to check your E2. That can affect your blood pressure too.

guys what is E2?

 

[Megatron28]

Estradiol. It is a type of estrogen.

 

[Austinite]

guys what is E2?

Estradiol of estrogen. We have E1, E2 and E3. We measure E2 because it's the most effective of all 3. 100 times more potent than E3 and 10 times more potent than E1. All 3 make up what is referred to as Estrogen.

Too much Testosterone is not really beneficial. The long term effects have not been studied. testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a relatively new science. If one can keep their levels above 600 ng/dl throughout their life....
they are basically golden!

Long term effects have been monitored, studied, documented and concluded. Male to female characteristical transformations.

My Estradiol was 43.9 . I have had anything for a week. How long do you think it will take for my test levels to come down? Someone asked my age, it is 50. Thanks for all of the comments.

3 Days out for the blood work. I am 50 . I had no idea my test was that hi. Still didn't feel as strong as I thought I should, but I am not 20 anymore. Mabey because it was too hi. Thanks for your help.

My family doc was the one who told me that long term effects have not been monitored.
You have the studies on hand?
Cause when I took that Clomid study into him...he agreed with it. Thing is you need to put him in place with stuff on paper...
and if it's reputable medical people doing the work...all docs listen.
