I have been on HRT for about two years now, injections the past six months or so. My last appointment with Dr. John was last week during which he said it was time to donate blood, it was a little thick. He didn't say anything was way out of wack and actually said everything was just about perfect across the board. I went today to give blood and they rejected me because my blood pressure was 150/112. I have had some problems with anxiety in the past and still do on occasion when I go to the doctor or as in this case I am waiting for someone to jab a needle in my arm and draw out a pint of blood. I went home and took it; it was a little high and then after an hour or so and several times since has been around 130/80. Now I have to get doctor John to fax an order to them so they will take the blood, which sucks, for me as well as him I am sure. The technician also said my iron was 51 and was acting like it was outrageously high. I looked it up and the range is like 20-50 and if my RBC count is a little up I would assume my iron would be high as well. Any input? I guess the gears just started turning and I am a bit worried if all is okay.
