    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    Well, a couple weeks later now, and a decent amount of the side effects have worn off. My libido is still mediocre, but I’m getting pretty decent nocturnal erections again. I’ve been somewhat fatigued since I started Telmisartin, but it’s not every day that I feel it. I’m also starting to get...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    His nurse responded today and said that we could look into other medication’s, but it might take a stronger dose of something else to keep my blood pressure low. I also know that 50 mg of losartan is equivalent to 40 mg of Telmisartin. I’m gonna give this another week, I don’t think things will...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    That makes sense and was what I was thinking. Unfortunately, my primary care physician doesn’t feel the same way. I sent him a message through my chart yesterday, telling him my symptoms. His response was that Telmisartin doesn’t cause ED, and another drug would only make it worse. So there’s no...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    Curious, if losaran is also an ARB, how would it not affect me the same as Temisartin?

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    Libido is starting to come back around over the past couple of days, but erections are not. My flaccid state is also greatly reduced. Would an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril possibly be better?

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    Sleep study is on my list of things to address. Unfortunately it keeps getting longer. All this smacked me out of nowhere. I was feeling good for over a month after getting over Covid, and then my body started to fail on me out of nowhere. Thanks for support, it’s appreciated.

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    I normally take 6 g of citrulline powder a day. I was off of it for a few days because I traveled out of town. I started back up today.

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    I’m not sure either. It’s a real struggle right now for me. My sleep is getting worse as well. Waking up after three hours and wired. I stopped my microdose of AI a couple of weeks ago, which may be contributing. I don’t want to take it, but my estrogen elevates and hurts libido and erections...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    I take 5 mg cialis daily. Usually works nicely, it isn’t right now.

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    I recently started taking 40 mg of Telmisartin 2 1/2 weeks ago. My blood pressure has been extremely high since I got Covid at the end of July. It topped out at 170/100 on my doctors visit three weeks ago, and it was time to start some meds as always, I come here because the people on here seem...

    Telmisartan and side effects

    Just that you have to be careful with magnesium lowering blood pressure with the meds. Just wondering if anyone has had any issues. I haven’t so far

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    Bumping down 10 and going from there. My 48 hour trough for free testosterone was over 24 on my last labs in July. I don’t feel like I need to be quite that high, but I was also feeling really good for about the past 4-5 weeks before my blood pressure spiked again. Talking to my PCP yesterday...

    Telmisartan and side effects

    Does anyone know if Telmisartan can be taken along with magnesium at night? I’ve seen some conflicting things but nothing too bad online.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
