First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

[Gibbon]

My sleep has now gone to absolute crap the last few days as well. High BP and I am waking up every hour regardless of what I do. Wired and awake right now at 3 AM. My sleep had gotten somewhat better, but since my BP has spiked, it has gone to garbage.

Maybe your dose is too high........Sounds like what I experienced. Look at your free levels and adjust your dose. Going down can be rough as is going up at times but I believe many people think hormones in flux while adjusting point to free t not being high enough so they think more is better. Seems like the only thing you haven't tried is lowering your dose.

I am contemplating going down to 90 a week. My doc prescribed telmisartan 40 mg to me today. I chose it over losartan for the longer half life and other benifits I researched. I am also going to check into my cortisol levels. My BP has been slowly creeping up for years, even before TRT. It is also hereditary on my father side of the family, as my father had it and so did my grandfather. My father used to run 4 miles a day in his 40s and was on blood pressure medication. Anyone on telmisartan know how long it usually takes to start working?
