Hey everyone,
So I've been on 200mg/wk (100mg twice a week) for 2.5 months. Part of the starting protocol also has me on .25mg of Anastrazul 3x week.
So far all my previous symptoms are solved for. Only side effect of TRT is an elevated blood pressure sporadically throughout the day. I'll wake in the morning to 100/55, but later in the day it will sometimes go as high as 155/106. I've been monitoring it a few times a day and there is no direct pattern that I can identify for the elevated BP.
I spoke with Endo about the results below and we currently feel the elevated BP is due to elevated Hematrocrit and Hemoglobin levels. Current plan is to lower dose down to 150mg/wk (taken once a week) and re-check in 10 weeks. He also advised I could give blood if I so chose. Of course that will skew the results if the labs come back lower in 10 weeks for H&H levels (was it the lower dose or the blood donation). He also advised I stop Anastrazal and DHEA supplement.
I wanted to hear your feedback as I value your opinions and you have all helped me so much to this point.
Thanks!
