BP increase on HRT?

[old timer]

Has anyone noticed an increase in their blood pressure after HRT? I'm on ~15mg ED, and my upper number is ~10 units (mm of Hg) higher than it used to be. This takes me just a little into the "elevated" category, but I'm curious if most of you experience something similar.

Anything is possible, that’s why labs are so important.

YES. My Blood pressure has increased from 110\70 to 140+/90+ and I have been on TRT for 2 years. I noticed it within the first few month. My TRT doc says its not the TRT but I disagree.

i'm doing 20mg per day and has zero effect on BP. genetics, diet, cardio its gonna be an individual thing. or an underlying issue like high hematocrit from the TRT

My PCP prescribes me irbesartan for when I’m on. I’m completely honest with him about what I takes and he prescribes and does what I need to use gear safely. He had tried me on beta blockers but they made it really hard to catch a heat when I was working out. So far the irbesartan has been good

Mine goes up to just over the minimum but every time I got see the dr. (once a month) I get elevated in anticipation. They prescribe me 10mg lisinopril. I take before bed. I can thank the boards for me taking it. I was resistant until all you guys changed my mind.

BP is very individual and yes trt can increase it. some bodies just react like this to testosterone. its an easy fix with a tab or otherwise bit more cardio, himalayan salt and perhaps lowring of the dosage of the trt permits it
