[QUOTE="Alive, post: 125867, member: 19034"] Since I started TRT I've been having problems with shortness of breath. At first I thought it was because of water retention due to high E2 but now that I got a monitor I see my systolic BP is often in the 130-140 and such an elevated pressure seems to correlate well with shortness of breath. This may also be why I have ED. May also explain why sometimes after having black tea or coffee I feel bad. From [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/blog/post/monitoring-your-blood-tests-while-on-testosterone/']here[/URL]: TRT can increase water retention, sodium uptake and hematocrit is some men, factors that can increase blood pressure. My hematocrit was 40.3 last time. Most of the supplements I take are supposed to reduce or improve BP such as garlic, citrullin, Ubiquinol, krill oil, etc. But there may be others which increase it. I'm suspecting taurine and MSM may be to blame. On another forum someone mentioned his BP went back to normal after he switched to Prop, which is what I just started. Now that I'm writing this my breath is short and I feel pressure in my head with a BP of 139/73. Once again I see how useless most doctors are as I've had to self-diagnose for most problems such as low T, low cortisol, deficiency in vitamin D and iodine and CoQ 10 and now elevated BP. [/QUOTE]
