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...
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.
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)
He did not say anything about my BP and it was 136/92 today. He said he wanted me to wear a 24hr heart monitor and do some sort of echo? Today he made me lay on my left side and used like an ultrasound tool on my heart. They said I should hear back from then within 2 weeks.
Hello everyone, I’m a 34yr male and have been on Trt for about 4 years 100mg/week cyp. I recently have been heart palpitations and thought it was due to my hematocrit being high. Long story short I was recommended to a cardiologist and they just tested me and said I have a slightly enlarged...
How are you feeling off T? How long have you been off? I still do IM shots but I have read that sub q might help with some of my symptoms.. I not to sure
Yes the 18.2 was taken at the blood bank. I always am on the higher side through actual lab work. I didn’t donate blood for a while so I figured I was due. I have my labs coming up this next week, I’ll have them check out my ferritin levels. So could donating blood have caused this??
No I have no had my ferritin checked. Last time I donated blood they said my iron levels were good. It sure if that is ferritin? I have had increased anxiety because of my levels which I know is NOT helping.

Not sure about the estrogen, I’ll bring that up to him next time. This test was in the morning after my shot. I was going to go on my troft day but had to leave for work. I’ve always suffered from anxiety since my early twenties. Anxiety and depression is what led me to the endocrinologist...
