I recently lowered my testosterone dose from 100 mgs to 80mgs, 40 twice a week, because I felt my levels were too high at around 1100 and I was starting to have elevated blood pressure. I got the BP under control by basically taking every thing I could find on how to naturally lower blood pressure - magnesium, apple cider vinegar, co q 10, pomegranate etc.
I just got a new blood test to see what my levels are after a few months at 80 mgs because I'm not getting morning wood and strong erections anymore - a problem I have never had - trt or before trt. I was expecting that the problem was high estrogen. I was shocked to see my total t was 1300 free was high at 35 with 18 being the upper end and e was only 31 with 35 being the upper end.
Another issue is my gfr or kidney level is 56 when it's supposed to be above 60. Last year it came in low so my doctor ordered another test and then it came in over 60 so I thought it was a one off fluke kind of thing , then it came back low again this last test. Creatinine is also high, that has come in high for years which I attribute to working out and high protien
I don't understand why I'm getting such a high level on such a low dose, any thoughts are appreciated
