TRT and TSH please help

[cheezscott]

I was recently put on TRT therapy with androgel and arimidex. My levels pre therapy were at T 120 and E2 11. Horrible I know. 4 weeks into my T is at 450 and E2 at 32; however BloodP is up 140 over 95 and my TSH is up from 1.65 to 3.4. Is this being caused by the Arimidex and higer e2 levels. Last thing I want to do is have to add Synthroid and BP Meds. Please help. Im a 40 year old and walk around at 5'10 220.

Hey Cheezscott, I know the guys here will have some bigger advice for you, I'm new to TRT myself.

Cant comment on most of it.... but

Did you get your BP taken before TRT?

I'm your height, and similar in weight (perhaps about 10 pound lighter). Unless your solid muscle my bet is you have some belly fat, I know for me it causes BP issues.

Also was your BP taken in the dr's office? Mine is always higher in a Dr office (anxious probably) but lower in my own environment.

Your dr is jumping the gun and potentially putting you into bad situation with adding in thyroid just after 4 weeks on HRT. The body will have to regulate it self to the addition of HRT. If he is just treating you on thyroid based upon TSH this improper medical procedure. Other values such as ft4, ft3, tpo, tgab, total t4 need to be evaluated. Blood pressure taken at dr's office falls into the white coat symdrome which is very common in people or if they just drank coffee 2-4 hours before it was taken. I would find another dr before this guys makes you really sick. Especially when hes screwing with thyroid with out properly testing for it.

There are people who have genetically high blood pressure needing medication.
When you hit the proper ratio 1:4 of NA/K then you will see dramatically in blood pressure. Having people that had high blood pressure, adding in celtic sea salt has help to lower there blood pressure be cause is helps to balance osmotic pressure. Once proper lifestyle, nutrition and exercise was implemented blood pressure did drop significantly. Again there is a small percentage who are genetically screwed.
