Nice presentation. I believe alot is true. I would say inflammation is also a problem. But in partial rebuttal, I am 56 and just had a heart attack 10 weeks ago. I am in good shape was training for the “Murph” when this happened. Running on treadmill at 7 mph. I am 5’10” and weigh 197...

I have a Omron model 786. I have taken it to dr office twice now, one was in hospital in cardiac unit after heart attack,to verify. It was within a few points both times

my shbg is typically upper 40’s. Total t is upper 600 and free t mid 20’s. I prefer my E2 to be mid 20’s. I do not take an AI. .12 mg test cyp every day

If my e2 gets to low 30’s anxiety is on it’s way

I have had no troubles flying with meds all over the world. However, i will be in dubai in a few days. They required pre approval through ministry of health. I have had many kidney stones so i travel not only with testosterone but Dilaudid, 5 pills.

My hct runs high as well. I try to stay 52-54. All docs I have been to are fine with it as there rest of blood values are fine. I di donate 3-4 times a year. My Hct got to 62.3 and I did not have the symptoms you are speaking of. But we are all different

Welcome aboard. Read and learn, lots of info here

Yeah Vince, I posted the results months ago and we all went over them as well as Dr, and there was no flags to change any thing.

My T is fine, free running mid 20's E2 as well. I did total Thyroid panel above like Vince Carter recommended and it all came back in mid ranges. Yet I still am tired a lot. I cleaned diet a bit and cut out a bunch of sugar and that seemed to help a bit. But basically I work a lot and work...

I personally would test just before the injection, his trough. This is what I do and I am daily, though on Cypionate. As well his Total T is not really relavant given his shbg. Test his free T, this is what will matter to him. His total may be way high, but free may be normal, or even low.

No! Estrogen not high anyway. Genetic issues i guess. Dad had several from early 50’s on

Almost 6 weeks post MI. I have been doing cardiac rehab, exercise while hooked up to ekg and BP. Been getting better. Today indid intervals on treadmill 6 mph for 3 minutes and 4 mph for trhee minutes. I had more in tank. No pvc or pac. Stayed under 81% max heart rate. Getting stronger

I fast food for 12-15 hours and no sex for 24 hours. No workout that morning

It is three weeks post MI and stent. I ma just st starting to get some energy back. Started cardia rehab last week, 45 minute treadmill all hooked up 3 days a week. Crestor and doet over last three weeks has brought my total cholesterol down to 91 (100-199) and ldl to 38. Hdl still only...

In my case they shrank up some beyond that. I can not give you and exact time, but it was more than 4-5 weeks.

I have used megalis and it is great

My opinion is try the weight loss and optimization of your nutrients. You are only 38. You have not stated how you feel. Chasing numbers for the sake of numbers is never a good place to be, especially hormones. Trt is pretty much a life time commitment. It has it’s own set of problems...

CROM, my hct has been high since forever. Prior to trt it was running 50-51. Since trt i have to manage it with donations to keep it 52-53. I have seen two hematologist to get cleared of differetn mylomas and other things

DragonBits, I think you just described about every male on the planet there!. We all hide and justify. I did with my dad’s heart. He wqs overweight and ate horribly and eventually died from dinking his liver to death. So I assumed his heart health was truly that and not something that would...

GbV, awesome info there! I will begin research there, thank you!

Thanks Nelson!

Hey Broker, I have never been on any meds. Triglycerides are below 100, sometimes in 70’s. Not overweight. My dad had several heart attacks in his 50’s! Boom right. He was an alcoholic over weight and ate horribly. I alway assumed that was the reason for his cvd, but maybe not. No other...

Update: Got results from echocardiogram today. So ejection fraction is basically a number that represents amount of blood flow out of heart. 55-60%. I am now at 50%. There is a section on back of left ventricle, the main pump out to body, that is not pumping as hard as areas around it...

VC you are right i am sure

I am 56 in a couple weeks. Not sure if imfection played. Apart or not. I did an echo, stress, echo last august with flying colors. I have been training for the “Murph” in May. So for the last 4 months I have been going strong in the gym Thanks for the studies..

Correct on hct. Just donated 6 weeks ago. Ldl was 110 last trip, but i also was recovering from a respiratory infection and on prednisone tylenol otc cough syrup....
