    Primary Hypogonadism: Doctor wants to put me on 25mg of Testosterone enanthate per week

    I would go to another doctor. TRT does not "add" testosterone to your baseline number. It completely replaces it from zero. 25 mg per week will probably bring you to 200 dg/dL. You need at least 100 mg/week, plus hCG 500 IU twice per week. Or 25 mg/day Clomid.

    BP issue

    I would split the dose in 0.5 ml per week if you can. If you need a BP med, get on an ARB like losartan or termisartan, which have double benefits (lower BP and keep hematocrit lower)

    Low T

    It depends on how you are sleeping, recreational drug use, body weight/fat, and other factors. Your T is borderline low but many doctors would not treat at that level, and your calculated free T percent is good.
