I am going to continue to take my meds and i just purchased a OMRON BP monitor.

I have not tried grapefruit, I will have to check if it is ok with my other meds aka ANTI DEPPRESANT

After i got my blood drawn i had my ferritin checked and it was within range.

I have this same problem and also have high BP because of it, now I’m on BP meds at 34yr old and still donating to lower HCT. I’m at my breaking point with TRT

I’m wondering if this is all from an Elevated Hematocrit. I was at an 18.2 then I gave blood and went down to a 16. Maybe that’s still high for my body!??

Wow that’s amazing, yes I have been taking losonipril for three days now @5mg he gave me 10mg but I just wanted to see how my body reacted. I went and had my BP checks at rite aid and still was 132/90 although this was 15 min after a workout

Thanks for the reply, i do NOT have an family members with any heart problems,i do have a very stressful job and my sleep schedual is horrible due to my roatating shift work. I stopped drinking energy drinks and started to drink more water. i do weight train 5 days a week very hard, i also take...

So i had an app. with my Doctor we discussed it an he put me on lisinopri, i am scared of these meds but i am following my docs orders

Do you do your injections IM or subq??

This sounds exactly like the symptoms I am having besides the headaches. I definitely think I’m going to give the subq injections a try. Or at least injecting more frequently. Also I think I might drop my dose a little. 100mg a week doesn’t seem like a lot but I guess it is for me.

Have you ever taken it? Any experience with it? All I hear is bad things about the med that it increases possible skin cancer.

Yes I am in Southern California, the more reading I do I might start taking the hydrochlorothiazide, I definitely feel like I’m bloated and retaining more water than normal and I eat pretty good.

I haven’t given the medicine a fair chance. I have taken like a total of three days then I stopped. I definitely will look into more frequent injections. Also I do not have a BP monitor. Hopefully I can dial myself in and start feeling better.

Yeah that test was taken the day before my injection day. The blood pressure and high hematocrit definitely are related to starting TRT. More frequent shots with insulin needles??? Sub q?? I was proscribed hydrochlorothiazide a while back but have been Skeptical in taking it.

I take 100mg test cyp. weekly 1 shot These are my current labs. Cbc that was out of range: MCH: 31.7 (post blood donation) MCHC: 34.7 MO#: 0.51 Other test done. Ferritin: 47 (post blood donation) SHBG: 22.1 Estradiol: 28.1 (no AI) Test Free: 19.2 Test Total: 822 (troft day)
