[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 181787, member: 3"] As long as you measure your ferritin once in a while and don’t donate more frequently than every 10 weeks, you will be OK. But if you smoke, have sleep apnea, are using over 150 mg per week, and don’t hydrate well, your battle with high hematocrit will be a longer one. Most guys hematocrit stabilizes after the first year. Don’t assume that headaches, being short of breath, etc is high hematocrit. Androgens make the body hold more sodium, so it holds more water to bring its concentration down. Watch your salt intake, try to exercise and sweat, eat bananas and other potassium rich foods to counter the sodium retention, and minimize sugar since higher insulin spikes also make the body hold more water and increase blood pressure. The use of NSAIDS can also increase BP in some. [/QUOTE]
