How do you guys handle increased blood pressure on trt? Normal bp off, but high when on trt.
Answer
In general, the provider overseeing your care looks to make sure the doses make sense & are not overly high to create unnecessary side effects to BP. If the dosage is right & you still have BP issues, then managing BP with your PCP is also on the table. It is very rare (<1% of patients) to have BP related issues to Testosterone, and in those cases it's more genetic than the Testosterone's fault. If you're at the T level you're supposed to be at and you have high BP, then it's likely time to manage BP the same way you would with a PCP without TRT. Sometimes TRT isn't a cure-all.
