I’m not a spring chicken anymore and have high cholesterol as well as blood pressure that averages 135/85. I bumped my Telmisartan to 40mg a day and take 10mg of Lipitor every other day. How many guys on gear in their late 30s and above need meds to control their numbers? I don’t eat like crap and my cholesterol is familial, but if I don’t take a statin my LDL gets too high even on 200mg of test

38 male, 230 pounds and 18% body fat. Have been running cycles since I was 22 years old, also did not take into account my blood pressure and cholesterol (young and dumb). At 34 I had a kidney infarction, they ruled out a clot so it was most likely due to high blood pressure that caused the cessation of blood flow to the right kidney. All is well at the moment but 10% of the kidney did “die” from necrosis. I average 135/85 and I’m on 20mg of Telmisartan, 2.5mg of Crestor to manage cholesterol. My cycles were never crazy but I did run tren a few times which I think got me more than I thought as far as internal side effects. Only cruise at 200mg a week but am taking a 6 week break from everything using clomid and adex just to give my body a small break. Will jump back on at 150-200 a week of rest after that. Given the information, will taking a therapeutic dose of testosterone be negative to my health? I doubt it, but wanted to see if anyone had additional insight. Am currently doing much more cardio and watching diet more as well due to the BP.
Edit: also taking the break due to low ferritin and iron, crashed it when donating blood to lower RBC and HCT

I typically blast and cruise throughout the year. 38 year old male that has been on gear for approximately 15 years. I had a kidney infarction years ago most likely from running high dosages and not paying attention to my blood pressure. I typically run around 145/90 which I know is an issue. I have genetically high cholesterol as well. How does a combo of Telmisartan and Crestor work with people in these situations? I started Telmisartan last week, will most likely be hopping on Crestor soon

I wanted to see if there was validity in larger muscle mass or mass in general and a lower eGFR. Mine is 75 which seems to be on the lower end, my BUN and Creatinine are in the normal range but 75 for eGFR I read is diminished kidney function. Any insight is appreciated

37 male, have been on testosterone for about 12 years 200-300mg a week throughout that time frame. I have donated blood once a year for the past three years (which isn’t egregious imo) and have been dizzy and lightheaded in the gym on and off for a couple years. I do routine blood work but never checked my iron and ferritin and I was below the reference range on both, especially the ferritin. I am getting an EGD/colonoscopy to be thorough and rule out anything serious but is it typical for people that run testosterone to be low on iron regardless of whether they donate blood or not? Thank you for any insight
Also Hemoglobin and HCT are normal within range

I am 37 male and have been on Pantoprazole for 8 years for my GERD and Barrett’s Esophagus. I get an endoscopy every three years and had a colonoscopy in 2018 to rule out anything else. My Ferritin is at 17 and my iron serum is low as well. For the past year I’ve been more fatigued, dizzy, and overall slower especially when exercising. I saw that these meds can inhibit iron absorption and wanted to see if anyone else has similar experiences

Just got in a few vials of Pharmacom Sust 300 and they are noticeably a darker yellow than the previous vials of the same product (they are a different batch). Did this mean that there is more carrier oil in there? I know colors can vary but I’ve been using Pharmacom sustanon for years and it’s always the same exact shade of yellow and this batch was darker, thank you for any insight

I have been blasting and cruising for the better part of a decade. I typically only use the delts (my preferred site) but can tell that they have just been too overused. I’m going to take a break from test and other injections for at least 6-8 weeks and know it will be a nightmare but I have clomid and arimidex on hand thankfully. I also need to lose some body fat so I can use smaller needles as to lessen the impact of scarring and so I can start using a one inch needle in the glute. Has anyone taken a hiatus from test after running it for so long? I’m assuming it will be no fun but wanted any insight if someone has
