You can donate blood, you can lower your dose, you can try aspirin to lower it (I am actually trying this out),

Aspirin. Let me know how that works.

My blood pressure is fine My blood count numbers are fine. But I went to a hematologist just to make sure I was not at risk for blood clotting and they checked all these blood factors and few DNA tests and I was not at risk for blood clots.
But the hematologist still recommended a baby aspirin everyday.

My cardiologist on the other hand says there’s no reason for me to take an aspirin.

Not sure what to do because if I start aspirin it’s probably something you take the rest of your life. So I haven’t started it

HEMATOCRIT 56.1 H Reference Range: 38.5-50.0 This was my exact number. I was sent to my local blood bank with a script. I go every 14 days, my finger is pricked and I’ve been around 43 lately and they won’t take my blood until I’m closer to 50. I cannot tell you how great it was to get rid of a little more than a pint. Such calm came over my body. I can’t feel my heart beat anymore. It was a very uncomfortable place to be, now I feel like my old self.
You can try to donate a pint to your local blood bank and see the difference.

Did you have any high blood pressure issues?

I think you’ve got a good chance of improving things by lowering dose. Coming off TRT is an option for you but might not be necessary. You also shouldn’t fear having to come off TRT if it comes to it. My experience really wasn’t that bad. Read my restart log if your interested. There’s a video link of a YouTuber who blasted and cruised for 8 years then successfully restarted his HPTA. He has compiled his dosages and lab work over 3 months of PCT so it’s a good resource.

Unfortunately yes, I have AFIB, My cardiologist has me on 50mg of Metoprolol 3X a day. Also because of TRT he put me on Losartan 100mg. once a day. Since doing this my pressure is normal. Today I wet again to the Blood Bank, she did a finger test and my Hct was 43. No draw. I was going every two weeks after the first two draws I seem to be back in the normal range. My next visit will be in a month. I know I fck’d myself I was injecting T every 3 days when I was to do it every 4. It really snowballed my tests. I won’t do that again. The 3 days was fantastic for me since I started working out again 6 months ago. With injecting 3 days, every day I felt fresh and I could work out hard doing the same routines over and over with zero Latic Acid issues. Now I take it easy.
