Blood pressure

G’day gents
I’ve been on TRT now about 3 years. The last 6 months or so I’ve had high hematocrit, high blood pressure, tinnitus and some ED. I’m 44 and otherwise very healthy.
For the first couple of years I was donating blood regularly until they banned me due to high hematocrit, then it was this cycle of my doctor approving donations and Red Cross making to it difficult, so I gave up.
I’ve tried lowering T dose, increasing frequency, taking breaks, increasing cardio, increasing hydration, Cialis etc. I’ve also tried to come off T but after 4 weeks felt like absolute dog shit.

Does anyone have any advice (other than the standard stuff I have already tried), and has anyone else with TRT induced high blood pressure successfully introduced blood pressure meds to help with ED etc.?

Thank you
