question from a user
I started trt 6 months ago and I’ve noticed my blood pressure has gone up. Should I be concerned? 120 mgs a week split into 3 shots. I started with 118/68 now at 135/75.
AlphaMD's Answer
It would be likely not connected to TRT. There is little connection between increased Testosterone and raising your blood pressure, especially at that dosage. You should keep an eye on it.
When BP becomes a concern on TRT it is usually managed separately as having high BP. We've only ever had one man who described the same thing & he admitted to being over worked & over stressed during the time he was associating it with TRT. We would ask you to just let your PCP know and to see if they can find an underlying issue, then if not do some A/B testing on dose with your TRT provider.
