TRT and hypertension

[goga]

What are your experiences of hypertension caused by TRT? My hormone levels seem to be ok, although I sensitive E2 test is not available in this area.
I am on 25mg T Enanthate SubQ EOD and have high blood pressure. It was much worse on T Propionate.

I would guess water retention, what do you think?

I agree, its often the case. Is there any solution? Taking diuretics = putting burden on kidneys

What Estrogen tests do you have? E usually can mean water retention.

I only have the regular one. I know, it makes no sense. The sensitive one is not available.
Besides, 25 mg EOD should be good to keep E2 down. But hypertension/water retention is there

So what's the test result and the lab range? Why do you leave that out...if you can't give info then there's not much reason to trying to help you if I have to pry important details out of you.

I would try taking l-theanine at night, it seems to work for me, and it might also improve sleep. By affecting neurotransmitters.

Low dose cialis is reported to slightly lower blood pressure, Gaba (amino acid) lowers my blood pressure for a few hours or longer. But I think l-theanine is behaving in a similar way to taking GABA but it is longer lasting. Nitric acid stacks are suppose to lower blood pressure, and cacao powder lowers blood pressure. magnesium lowers it, and dehydration can cause either high or low blood pressure. In people who are chronically dehydrated, when the body’s cells lack water, the brain sends a signal to the pituitary glad to secrete vasopressin, a chemical that causes constriction of the blood vessels. This causes blood pressure to increase which leads to hypertension.

Your E2 doesn't seem very high.

How high is your blood pressure and how much did it go up?

Attempts to lower it depends to some degree on how high it is and what causes it. Other factors that can raise the risk of having hypertension include obesity; diabetes; stress; insufficient intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium; lack of physical activity; and chronic alcohol consumption.

As you can see, there is a lot that can go into affecting blood pressure.
