[QUOTE="rifter, post: 214221, member: 14772"] Unless I'm missing something, I would think that your "self-medicated" protocol from 2018 was more appropriate for cardio protection than your current protocol given your free T and estradiol levels in your current bloodwork - both of which are cardioprotective within physiological ranges. However, there are far more educated members here who would do that analysis better justice than I ever could. Either way, in my mind, blood pressure and hypotension should be addressed irrespective of whether the individual is on TRT or not, or what protocol for that matter. Sure there are drugs out there that apparently cause an increase in blood pressure and are commonly used in a HRT setting, but testosterone in a normalized range should not have a deleterious effect. Exogenous testosterone has been known to increase RBC, but I wouldn't immediately think this would translate into increased blood pressure (at least not from my experience). I'm sure you've taken a look at diet and lifestyle as main contributors to increased blood pressure? I'm also sure your PCP would be happy to prescribe lisinopril or other medications if the topic was revisited with him. [/QUOTE]
