My blood pressure when off testim is around 120/75. But whenever I’m on it, it slowly creeps up. The last time I was on it it went as high as 158/105!! I exercise 5-6 days a week and watch what I eat. Anyone else have this problem?
I’m new to Testim and have noticed a slight increase in my systolic number. I’m also eating more and need to get a new blood panel to see if its working or not. I heard extra water weight at the beginning is normal which may contribute to an increase in BP.
Are you using any fat loss supplements?
Hematocrit and hemaglobin are probably rising too. If so, get a phlebotomy.
No fat loss supplements.
It seems to be only about 5 to 10 points higher in the morning before application and at night before bed, but close to 20 points higher throughout the day. I don’t have much stress and drink decaf.
I just donated some blood, so we’ll see if that helps, but the day after donation, still high.

Red Cross won’t take mine. Hemaglobin too high. Keep donating as often as possible.
One thing I like about a therapeutic phlebotomy is that they don’t poke my fingertip…damn I hate being poked there!
Looks like donating blood did the trick (or at least helped). My BP is back down 10-15 points since doing it. It still is a touch high after application, but better than it was. Guess I’ll just have to keep donating blood while on TRT.
