[QUOTE="Ribeye, post: 247133, member: 43544"] If you have hypertension with the elevated hematocrit and hemoglobin you need to reduce those numbers sooner than later, but it is paramount to keep the BP under good tight control until the docs order blood dump, or you can donate. Your numbers for those two markers are likely related directly to the amount of testosterone you are getting, plus worsening or developing sleep apnea again from the hematocrit. The high BP, controlled by the telmisartan, is critical as it contributes greatly to developing strokes or heart attacks, thats why its critical to keep it under control. Even after you get the hematocrit and hemoglobin in the normal range, its a number you don't want to mess with...cheating only hurts you. It will likely require a reduction in dose of testosterone. If you get reduced benefit, as in reduction in mood, energy, libido, you may be able to switch to the newer compounded creams applied to the scrotum and see a rise in DHT which helps much more with symptoms of low T. Like many others on this forum, I've been where you are. Fortunately, I was able to catch my rising hematocrit and hemoglobin and donate blood before it got to high. I donate every 9 weeks or so, reduced my dose to T which was very high any way (and yes without symptoms) and watch my ferritin (iron) which is easy to support thru diet iron rich foods I like. Think steak. its not that hard to get this under control, and still feel really good. T is like anything else, more isn't necessarily better. [/QUOTE]
