[QUOTE="twothirtytwo, post: 237347, member: 44537"] to clarify the timeline here: Started TRT in 2016 on gel with normal bp (TT was 190 before hoping on) Switched to injections in 2020 and noticed high BP around this time (150s/90s) Thought it was injection related to paused TRT for 8 weeks 2 years ago in 2020. BP remained high, so resumed TRT. Added BP meds in Oct 2020 and tried various different ones to get BP to ideal range, nothing is working. Labs i posted above were as of a few weeks ago. Potassium is normal, on last labs is 4.4 (range of 3.5-5.1). Even on weeks where I train less, or even take a week off due to vacation, blood pressure does not change, so do not think it is due to over training. Dr. suggested adding a 2nd diuretic to the mix and running labs in 2 weeks to see how 2nd diuretic effects potassium levels. So total meds starting tomorrow will be telmisartan 80mg HCTZ 25mg spironolactone 25mg. BP as of today before adding spironolactone is 140s/70s. [/QUOTE]
