Thanks buddy. Its good to hear this!!

Blood pressure was pre hypertensive 140's/90's for at least the last two years prior to being put on 10mg lisinopril and 25mg metropolol last week. One of them is making me cough and hiccup as well. I am going to ask for losartan instead of lisinopril

Coastwatcher, My Trt is 200 mg a week and 2iu HGH. I am hypogonadic and panhypopituitarism from head injury. BP was consistent ly 140/90 and now is 100/60. I have not told my endocrinologist because I know she will discontinue She has been trying to tell me for a while that it could cause...

Hi guys this is a follow up to 10 years in post. So its been confirmed by 2 sepearate Docs and Tests that I have below normal Ejection Fraction 35-40% and Mild LVH with cardiomyopathy. Neither cardiologist agrees with continuing on my TRT. But they have no conclusive evidence to think it may...

Liquid or tabs or bite them open? And what brand?

Follow up to :"10 years in" was sent to an Hematologist by my Cardiologist to check my Hematocrit and hopefully do a phlebotomy to lower my HCT because it is too high for a donation. All I got was a lecture stating that the Testosterone and HGH are responsible for all of my heart issues. He...

Yes he is not. I am going to a different one next week.

Nelson, My Cardiologist seems to blame the Test and hgh replacement. And pretty much told me if I continue I will get worse. My Hypogonadism and Panhypiopituitary is suspected to come from a head injury I sustained in a car wreck in high school. I have been on replacement for over 15 years with...

It was in my very first post....53% hemo. I meant HCT.

GA8314. Sorry you missed it but I posted that my latest Hct was 53%. But has been as high as 59%. I really do appreciate your replies, so thank you

The first Cardiologist is an invasive Cardiologist the second opinion was preventative. So from what you guys know hematocrit has NO correlation to Ejection Fraction?

ok let me start over again from scratch. I am 47 year old male I have been on TRT for over 10 years plus growth hormone for panhypopituitarism. Recently I got a check up on a heart bus which is similar to a bloodmobile where you pay to have seven heart tests done. EKG coronary artery disease...

My blood pressure has been pre hypertensive for at least 2 years 140/90. I just got on lisinopril last week with toprol XL 25 mg. My belief was that my blood being thick showed up as low ejection fraction. So it was MY idea to get phlebotomy to see if my EF improved in another echo. Doc did say...

Dr said if I feel fine I could try to donate some blood to reduce my blood viscosity to see if that helps and come back and see him in 3 months. I have no symptoms and I feel like I am generally in good shape I work out regularly and just happened to get an echocardiogram as a preventative. Now...

Forgot to mention I am 47 and trt is 1 cc a week and 2 ius hgh daily

Has anyone experienced heart issues such as low ejection fraction (low stroke volume). I was recently diagnosed through a routine echocardiogram that I have a slightly enlarged Left Ventricle and an ejection fraction of 35-40 % (Normal is 50 -70%). Im wondering if polycythemia could cause this...
