I've had readings of 58 HTC an i didn't have a clue from signs from my body that anything was high. But you get cut od of TRT at about 54 HTC. You can find some good stuff about HTC (thick blood) on YouTubeoften see people referring to their blood being "thick". how exactly do you tell if it's thick? if hct is above a certain %? or do they literally mean your blood texture is thick like pudding?
FYI Thick Blood or high HTC isn't always bad. A good example is Lance Armstrong a bike rider that gets as high as 62-64 and a pulse of 220 when riding.
U R Right my Dr said Lance is 30 your 75. LOLIsn't that a little like saying crack or meth isn't always bad as not everyone dies from taking it?
