Can Testosterone Increase Blood Pressure?

Can testosterone elevate blood pressure?

Ive checked it the last two days and it is hovering around 140/90.
Ive not exercised in about two weeks due to a cold, and I’m not taking any medications for my cold.

My usual blood pressure is very good and I’m concerned.

Yes. Testosterone can raise BP via several mechanisms, but so can being sick, especially if you have an infection or a fever. I would let yourself get well, and then begin checking it regularly.

2 weeks with a cold...time to go the Dr, eh?

Even if it hasn't raised it in the past?
