High BLood Pressure, Can’t figure it out. Help

[Kaliman911]

I had the same issue as you when I started TRT. I’ve always had perfect blood pressure, in great shape, and eat healthy. I noticed your E2 is 48.9. That’s pretty high. Especially since your SHBG isn’t that high. My blood pressure was 160/90 at it’s worst and had E2 even higher than you. As soon as I started taking an AI regularly and got my E2 into the 20-30 range I had perfect blood pressure almost instantly. I’m no doctor but, I would be pretty confident to say that your high estrogen and lack of an AI is causing your BP issues.

Thanks for the reply. Did you have any changes in mood or libido with the addition of the AI? I’m not even sure at what dose to start. It scares me to crash my E2. I’m not sure if E2 also fluctuates up and down with the injection time, but i have noticed that my BP is the highest after injection and starts going down, up to 10 points, the day before my next injection. So it goes up and down with my dose.

Yes, my mood was greatly enhanced. I felt anxious and socially withdrawn with my E2 too high. I wouldn’t be scared that you’ll crash your E2. People on the internet seem to make a big deal of “crashing”. I personally take a generous dose and have never came close to crashing it. I suppose everyone is different. I would guess your BP increases after injection because you’re getting a spike in estrogen after much of the T you injected aromatizies. And once your due for your next injection things have stabilized ie why your BP lowered.

I have not seen anything that shows E2 level and T levels run parallel. E could still be high on injection day and just T is lower. I don't know this to be fact and some can show me different if they do.
