    My Doc states he does see elevated BP in some men once on TRT, especially if they are big guys to begin with. I've been on BP medicine for years, but mostly to control Migraine Headaches. Since starting TRT almost 3 years my BP has gone up somewhat but is controlled with Atacand & Amlodipine. My BP goes up significantly when I take NSAIDs like Aleve or Advil for extended periods. I'm on a large daily dose of Aleve right now for a shoulder injury and my BP has risen to 140/90 on some days. I usually run about 130/75.

    same here API, my BP goes up with aleve, but man this shit works so good for pain and inflammation relief. i also read that most bodybuilders naturally develop HBP due to the tightness of muscles around the veins, not sure how much truth there is to it but its possible, and maybe that why most of us who go on TRT develop HBP, probably because we get so bulked up with muscle, not because of the drug. maybe!!!!

    Drinking regularly can also cause high BP. Learned this the hard way. find a happy medium, like hormone replacement solutions. I think many here have dealt with both.

    Good luck!

    I've been drinking "regular" longer than I care to say but it is possible it may have caught up to me at last. I hope not!

    Curious about the NSAIDS. I have been taking a bit more than usual and you may have nailed it with your post! Your bp on NSAIDS is about on par with my current readings.
