Run labs. Could be estradiol or hematocrit.

Keep the salt intake low. Drink plenty of water.

A great way to lower your BP is by taking a hot shower or bath. Before bed is a good time or anytime you feel stressed.

What is your BP normally?

 

[maxxmill17]

thx guys I ran blood Friday....just took a Xanax as I feel like shit ...seems like bp goes up in evening . today 9:30 am bp was 107/70 then i did cardio 10 minutes light weights at home 20 minutes after workout 116/76 wtf at night does it go up

tomorrow is day six no shot longest i have gone in 8 years...think i wait til blood back Monday? kinda plays on my mind to skip but i and too afraid of spiking bp..

I would bet your hematocrit is high. Have you checked your levels lately? meaning did you test cbc on friday?

 

[Megatron28]

Are you taking in any caffeine?

It is normal for your blood pressure to increase as the day goes on.

 

[maxxmill17]

i was abusing coffee for 3 years stopped about 10 days ago...yes bp rose as day went on but not at night ,,,usually 130/80 during day then would lower towards night

i believe he did hematocrit Friday yes.. last hemacrit as 10/05/13 37/51 i was 50 . is that high enough to be issue? (that blood test no t or e tested)

on 4/10/13 i ran all hemacrit was 50.3 estradiol was 51(7.6-42.6) test level was 921 (348-1197)

Your hematocrit is high. Donate blood this week. That will help lower it.

Your E2 is getting to be a little on the high side as well. That affects your BP too. Have you tried taking DIM to lower youe E2?

 

[maxxmill17]

no never tried dim..had read about it just didn't think it would work vs a strong androgen like test.. obviously i shoud give it a shot what does or brand ? and donate blood at hospital? or i can actually ask dr. as new blood #'s due in Monday

you guys have seen dim work well?

 

[methos0123]

normal range for hematocrit can be as high as 52 (some labs go up to 54). However, if you go over that, you start risk of erythrocytosis. Like Megatron said, go donate. That should drop it by ~ 3%. Estradiol is elevated to. However, people respond differently to different levels apparently. You should really spread doses every 3.5 days to get a better idea of fluctuations. Right now you go 3 days with another boost, then 4 days till the next boost. It's easier to see what levels are doing if it is evened out.

The Red Cross does blood donations and they are found in most places.

Thank you Megatron that post by Austinite was most informative ,,,

u guys think skip shot one more day and see blood work Monday? i have to ask as been many years since i have gone over 6 days without shot. but as i said above the bp has me wacked out mental

 

[jomamma007]

either estradiol. hematocrit, or caffeine withdrawl anxiety. Try not to worry about it until you get labs back, because that alone will give you anxiety.
Have long have you been on this current dose?

Take the next shot or don't. It won't make a difference.

Yep. Pic a morning and evening 3.5 days apart. Then you always pin on the same days of the week. Nice and easy. This will help lower your E2 and even out your TT.

Yes, high hematocrit can affect BP. Donate blood every 56 days as permitted.

Give DIM a try!

current dose has been same for years but my days of week got fucked up just about 6 weeks ago...and yes my e2 has been hi already for years and hematocrit has been 50 for long time also,.... the knowledge i gained here tonight has relaxed me a bit thx much

Let us know how it goes. And you may want to only make one change at a time. Then you can assess each of their impacts. I would increase your injections frequencies first. Give it 4-6 weeks and run labs again. If E2 is still high, then try adding DIM.
