I have searched the forum but haven't found a lot of information, or concern, for the high blood pressure that can result from the thicker blood that higher hct and hemoglobin can give to you.
I've been on Trt for about 6 months now (currently 84 mg/week) and my hct and hemo are climbing; I suspect my next blood test will show hct of .53-.54 and hemo of 179-181 (ref 135-175). Before Trt my hct was around .48 and hemo of 170; my blood pressure was always excellent, about 120/80 and even 110/70.
But the last few times I've tested my blood pressure it has been higher, almost always 144/80, which from what I read is considered high blood pressure. Surely others deal with the same issue . . . or not? What BP limits do you guys feel comfortable with?
