[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 259463, member: 43264"] Interesting. A year ago I starting working out and walking close to 5 miles a day every day. Every morning I walk 1.25 miles around the office which I did fairly comfortable. Up until May 31, based on my Apple Watch activity monitor, my "Cardio Fitness" (VO2Max) was 35.4, and my "cardio recovery" (drop in heart rate after exercise) was 37 bpm. I started TRT at 90 mg T.Cyp. a week (3 x 30, M-W-F) on June 1st, and now my 1.25 miles morning walk feel like I'm slightly gasping for air, nothing major, but get the psychological need to breath stronger, as if my chest wouldn't dilate enough, or my throat was constricted, my cardio recovery is now 34 bpm, and my VO2max is 33.1 The only change has been starting TRT 6 weeks ago. When I started out, my blood work indicated my hemoglobin was 15.5 g/dL and my HCT was 47. I had been on Enclomiphene + hCG in one form or another for the past year and a half and my average total T during that time was 767 ng/dL, so that may explain why my HCT was 47 These are my stats now: [ATTACH type="full" width="266px"]34618[/ATTACH] I do not have the results of the first lab work after starting TRT, but it correlates with your experience. Anyone has any thoughts? Edit: In general I feel like I have to make an effort to breathe. Notice, it's not like I'm gasping for air, my blood oxygen is about 95% (never been very high though) but it's more like a "feeling" or "awareness" that I need to breath harder, difficult to explain, so I understand if you are confused. No need to go to the ER or get an oxygen tank yet, at least for now. [/QUOTE]
