question from a user
I'm 64 and started on gel, e pump daily on May 1st. My TT was okay but my FT was on the low side. So far I'm doing well on that dose. I feel much more alert and not tired all the time and not feeling like I'm dragging. My blood pressure has been running on the high side. It's been 130/ 90 to 140/90 consistently. I had labs drawn a few days ago and waiting for the results of those and I see my doctor next week. I noticed that you mentioned on somebody else's comment that elevation and BP is sometimes just initial, does that mean a lot of times it's transient and spontaneously returns to normal or does it typically have to be treated with meds?

Most of the time that BP elevations occur with the initiation of TRT, it resolves on its own in a few months. The body essentially accommodates the new changes that occur over time, and BP returns to normal. No dosage changes are needed
