Red face ?

**onvi** · 04-08-2022, 05:06 AM

Currently using 400mg test e and 200mg primo weekly . I've got a flushed face and warm to touch . Bp is fine . I've tried playing around with e2 and no change . Been dieting now for 3 weeks - cardio 4 times a week . Any help would be great I've had this problem every time I've cycled and never got to the bottom of it .

Yeah bro i feel you. My face is red too. The amount of redness differs tho, in the morning less, in the evening more imo. When i get home from work my face is as red as fucking lobster (i do manual labor outdoors all day).. hard to explain that tbh if theres hardly any sun outside atm. I have googled it, it is common symptom of high testosterone , high test makes you make more red blood cells or something like that . More red blood cells = red face. It also makes your blood thicker and higher risk of heart attack stroke. Thats kinda crappy so im wandering too. Is there any way to combat this... and will my face get even red-er (and higher stroke chance) if I up the testosterone dose.

Right off the bat i can think of blood thinners.. I think they sell that shit in the pharmacy. Would it be smart to eat those a little maybe? It wont help with the red face tho.

Well come on, first you didn't mention how long you are in this cycle! In other words, saying that you have high hct is only speculation, as long as the blood work shows you.

How many is your BP daily? Have you been tracking your blood pressure?

take baby aspirin

I have been blasting and cruising for the past 2 years . This blast I'm currently on the 5th week . I've donated 3 times in the past 3 months and no change . Maybe rbc is still high .

Bp is always good I monitor it a lot . Never over 125

I don't think the baby aspirin would do much ?

Always try to stipulate a( time) for you to do blood tests during use, let's say you are going to explode for 12 weeks, in the 8th week you ask the doctor for a complete blood count, and from the 7th of your cruise you ask for another complete blood count for the your doctor... By doing this you will be able to better understand what is happening... From your blood pressure I think your red blood cell should not be so high, because if you were, you would certainly be feeling agitated and your BP in the heights. .. Regarding baby aspirin: The answer is that acetylsalicylic acid also works as an antiplatelet agent, which means that it prevents or hinders the union of platelets that form the thrombus. With this, the accumulation of platelets "dismantles", opening the way for the blood to flow again.

I know a lot of guys who donate blood every 2 months, even though they don't have signs of high HCT! They do this as a guessing game, it is advisable to always have your blood panels up to date. IMHO

So you think the aspirin might help with the red face ?

Find out your hct levels with a blood test, if it's high hct it will help...More. it is most likely that the redness of your face has to do primarily with the increase in E2....Do you know where your E2 levels are also where you are?

I remember getting quite puffy and red in the face, round when I was running high amounts of testosterone cypionate a week without any AI or Nolva, for the first two weeks... This is because testosterone converts to estrogen! (I won't give a precise diagnosis for your symptoms, I suggest you do a blood test if it's not hct it's your E2 levels that are high

Your E level is fine, not too high. So I think you should do a phlebotomy of about 500ml of blood and see how your body reacts (and drink plenty of water daily).
