[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 62705, member: 12687"] Not to sound unsympathetic, but the elevated hematocrit (especially to the degree you've seen possibly high 50's or low 60's) is a SAFETY priority above and beyond current symptoms. If they told you at the blood center that your hemoglobin was 20.7, the hematocrit is typically approximately 3x the hemoglobin, so that would put you back up at around 62 for hematocrit (estimated)! If the hematocrit keeps climbing despite your currently reduced TRT dosage it is likely that one or more of the following are also contributing: SLEEP APNEA, smoking, high iron intake/levels, living at high altitude. The root cause needs to be addressed and assuming your hematocrit is elevated to the degree it appears, in all honesty your TRT should be discontinued until such a time. Safety must come first for you. [/QUOTE]
