High RBC ect

**bullshark99** · 06-14-2013, 07:47 AM

Fellas, posted oh about a month a go regarding donating blood which I did and will every 90 days or so. I never had labs to back any of this up, my RBC hem, Crit always was spot on. I started feeling like absolute shit, heart racing always out of breadth even though I do 5 hrs of cardio per week (ok 3)

Im feeling MUCH better these days, started about 5 days or so after donating. Was just curious, is this coincidence or can someone actually feel if their blood is getting too thick????

My other theory is I crashed my E2 again. Anyway bloods next week, feedback/insight apppreciated.

yes you can have these symptoms form high RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit. when my blood gets think I feel tired, heart acts up (PVC's) and get headaches. low e2 sides are worse, for me at least.

I wish MY blood would THINK. It just gets thick.

in seriousness, I agree. I've been as high as 56.5 with hct and felt like crap.

I notice my cheeks and face start to get more color like I've been in the sun. The Dr. Says that is a definite symptom, also the back of your hands.

I just went through this and i am not done.I let this get really out of control.. i didnt donate for over 16 month ran the b/w came back at 63% everything was off the charts..

So the thing i was experiencing was as follows.. FELT LIKE SHIT big time.. The thing that really stands out was my pee was really yellow.. i have had 4 pints in the last month and i still need more. The other thing that stands out i could not stand the heat and my b/p was high as well.. Also FATIGUE i had no energy.. Feel good right after a draw but would only last a few days and i was back feeling like crap.. I think i need two more pints in the next month to get back to base line. Pre TRT.. Hope this helps...

Well thanks again for the feedback, guess you can feel it cause yes, I really felt like hell. Funny thing is my BW was always spot on not even close to being elevated for 2.5 yrs. last BW I had was about 4 months earlier, guess it can elevate pretty quick.
Spartan, same thing with the color, people were asking me if I was tanning LOL
