My blood pressure has gone up since I’ve been on cypionate. Does anyone know if the higher blood pressure is from my high estradiol, or is the raised bp directly from the test?
My nurse wanted to put me on arimidex to lower my estradiol, and she knew my bp was up. Now she’s saying she won’t put me on arimidex because I have high bp. These estrogen spikes are bad. I’m a miserable bastard for a day after my injection. Since I can’t get arimidex, I lowered my t dose to 50mg/twice a week. I’m now down to half my original dose. Even after I lowered my dose starting last week, my estradiol spike still made me miserable yesterday.
If someone has proof that the high e2 is causing my elevated bp, I can take that to my nurse. Maybe then she’ll give me a prescription for arimidex.
There is no reason to associate anastrozole with a risk in this context.
You need CBC to check hematocrit. If you have a post with prior lab work, this should have been there or that linked from here.
Need labs for ALT/AST liver markers.
Homocysteine will ID or rule out inflammatory processes in the arteries. If elevated, take DHEA is DHEA-S is low, high potency B complex with trace elements.
Take a mini aspirin every day, take 5 on day one.
Fish oil, vit-C are also blood thinners.
Do not get dehydrated.
Get a cal/mag supplement with mag citrate or something else better absorbed than magnesium oxide.
If you are a blood doner and give blood then feel a lot better, your blood was too thick.
Head aches or unexplained muscle aches? Ability to exercise affected?
Leg or foot cramps? ← magnesium deficiency
My last blood test my hematocrit was 46.6 in a range of 38.5-50.0.
Not sure of ALT/AST. If they’re abbreviations for something else I had tested?
I don’t give blood. I drink plenty of water.
No headaches. No muscle aches. No leg or foot cramps. Can still exercise fine, although my workouts were much better for the first 6 weeks on trt, before I started having high estradiol symptoms.
Actually, I got a lower reading on my left arm, than on my right at home. At the dr.'s office, she took it on my right. On my left, it was still high, just not as high as before.
On another note…
What if I got my next blood test about 36 hours after my injection, instead of the day of my injection, prior to my injection? Maybe then she’d see my estradiol peak, and might be more willing to prescribe arimidex.
Could lowering E2 lower BP? There is one way to find out and doc slammed that door shut.
If you are able to donate blood, you should do that. Do not state the real reason why.
Your BP seems here to stay if something does not change.
HTC=46 on TRT? That does not appear bad. If so, TRT has changed muscle tone of muscles in your arteries, typically TRT does the opposite to some degree. Can that be E2? Only one way to find out. Try those suggestions for things that thin your blood.
