    Telmisartin impact on TRT

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

    Telmisartin 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.

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

    I am contemplating going down to 90 a week. My doc prescribed telmisartan 40 mg to me today. I chose it over losartan for the longer half life and other benifits I researched. I am also going to check into my cortisol levels. My BP has been slowly creeping up for years, even before TRT. It is...

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

    My sleep has now gone to absolute crap the last few days as well. High BP and I am waking up every hour regardless of what I do. Wired and awake right now at 3 AM. My sleep had gotten somewhat better, but since my BP has spiked, it has gone to garbage.

    Thanks. Took 6 readings 1-2 minutes apart this morning and averaged 132/77. I’m feeling better, but body still feels somewhat tight and fatigued, but nowhere near how it felt the previous two days. It may very well just be residual from the previous two days of stress. Gonna hydrate, took my...

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

    It’s been a while since I updated so I figured I would post and talk about how the changes Defy suggested worked and other issues that are now coming up. The micro dosing of half a .125 pill with each shot worked very well for a few weeks, but it’s kind of lost its effectiveness for libido...

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m willing to try what the doc laid out for me. He feels the same way about my target E2 number. I don’t use HCG. I would say my natural production has completely shut down. I have been injecting for almost 3 months.

    I took another Covid test and it came back positive. I knew it couldn’t be hormonal. Wish me luck that recovery is short. My symptoms are mild besides headaches and my blood pressure going up a little.

    Thanks. It may not be a bad idea to try that. My blood pressure has gone down a decent amount today. It averaged 127/79 this morning at about 930, did a good cardio workout and had a sauna at the gym. After that I took a few more readings and it averaged 133/77. Body still not feeling great and...

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.
