[QUOTE="GreenMachineX, post: 77318, member: 15245"] Little update: 4 weeks ago my hematocrit was 54 and I had been taking iron for a month due to iron deficiency symptoms rearing up again (palpitations, racing heart, increased blood pressure, anxiety, fatigue, etc). I stopped a week or 2 later, so about 2 weeks ago because I was afraid how high my hematocrit was going to get. 1 week later (about 1 week ago), the iron deficiency symptoms came back and I've started taking iron again. I had blood work done last night and my hematocrit was 51 and hemoglobin was 16.1! How did it drop without donating??? Is the 25mg Losartan that I've been on now 8 weeks finally controlling the h/h? Or am I so iron deficient that I can't produce enough h/h to keep it elevated? I've also been on a ketogenic diet for 6 weeks; could that influence it? Lastly, I've decreased my testosterone to 100mg/week for about 2 months I think. Either way, this is great, and I'm glad it's coming down. I'm going to continue taking the iron because the iron deficiency symptoms are horrible. Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
