Estradiol Issues

Update: Doctor agreed and said switch back to levothyroxine (Synthroid). She also gave me a script for Clonidine to switch to instead of bisoprolol. Thank God (seriously).

My current palpitations situation is absolutely by the clock. Starts an hour or 2 after waking and I have it until about 6 pm and worsens when I eat. I've also noticed that my pulse and blood pressure are extremely “reactive” to activity, whether it just be standing up or walking around or whatever. Pulse will jump 30 points. When I'm walking on the treadmill for my warm up at the gym, my pulse will be 120. Has to be thyroid related right? Along with the flushing and randomly warm moist hands. Praying for a miracle here. I'm so tired of all this.
 
Donated a pint today and saw my hemoglobin was up to 19 and BP up to 160/90. Probably need to try to get a prescription phlebotomy to get more out with numbers like that, huh? Obviously reducing my testosterone dose again. I'll see how I fare with 110mg per week. Should be good as there was a time I had H/H consistent at 17/48 for a few months.

I am on a similar boat and i am done messing up with my iron levels. By donating so often my iron balance is off. So i am planning on reducing my dosage to 100mg a week and i supllementing with iron bisglycinate 18mg twice a day. Hopefully that takes care of my HCT/iron problems for good and I still feel good subjectively with the lower testosterone dosage

Yeah man. Sounds like a good plan.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
