Does test cyp increase heart rate and/or blood pressue? Below starting TRT my resting heart was 48, now 63. Bllood pressure has increased from 120/70 to 130/90. At what level do I need to start worrying about high blood pressure?

Start worrying when you have consistently high numbers, one reading means nothing.

Couple things to monitor. Your blood thickness, e2 and your total test level, as in are you too high.

Yes, check for rbc, hemoglobin and hematocrit. You can lower them by donating blood on the regular basis. Giving blood should be part of TRT. 63 bpm is a perfect number, bp you need to check it in the morning, bp usually gets high toward the end of the day.
