How long does it take BP to lower after reducing HCT?

My hgb was at 17 and it raised my BP high. I dropped the hgb down to 13.5, and been like that for 2 weeks, BP still the same. Why is BP not lowering?

Apparently your hgb isn’t causing your high blood pressure.

Just an update since my initial post in 2015: my blood pressure finally normalized after getting my hematocrit under control by phlebotomies but it took a couple of months to stabilize. I ate more vegetables and drank fresh ginger lemon tea each night during the process as many recommended to treat high blood pressure. Also started to eat 1/2 grapefruit between a meal each day to keep hematocrit normal as others have suggested. It appears to be working as I have not had a high level nearly two years since.

Really scary stuff and hindsight 20/20 should have knew more about TRT treatment and stayed on top of my lab work. I literally stopped the TRT, B12, and supplements mentioned for about 3 months after that event.

I've since been back on all original treatment and supplements note before minus the creatine. I believe the mix of high heat running 3-5 x week, creative, and unchecked, elevated hemotocrit sent me into the tailspin. The neck & hearing issue as I stated before may have just been coincidence but is still present. Never diagnosed by Dr. after X-rays and MRI but hearing loss in one ear was confirmed but it's manageable and not worsening
