Should I Be Concerned With This

[synfull]

Like I said I am about 210 5'11 and 19bf. I could lose a few pounds but overall in good shape. I bench 300 which I think is pretty good for 58. Work out about 4 to 5 days per week with some cardio mixed in.
The only problem I have is pissing sometimes and have seen a urologist several times. They scoped me to look at my prostrate and was told I have BPH. PSA have been steady at 1.2. I wonder if this can be related to Hemaglobin and Hematocrit.
I am going off till I find out what is going on.
Thanks

yes it is normal to have kidney and heart strain from AAS. but your levels are really high to the point i would be concerned with dying or ending up in the hospital


how bad a shape are you in? are you overweight?

i would come off roids for a while unless you are willing to risk your life

Yes, he called me twice and told me he was concerned and wanted me to see a hematologist, or at least take a new blood test in a month and see where the levels went.

good--that level is not normal for aas use--it is heart attack level. Research primary and secondary polycythemia

you don't sound like you are in that bad a shape for your age. however i bet there are thousands of roid users who are in your boat as well but they don't know it cause they don't run bloods or know what any of this shit means. just stay off for a while and see if it goes back to normal levels

I think you are right. I have been reading about Polycythemia (too many red blood cells) and one of the main causes is TRT.

Although the cause of polycythemia vera is unknown, a number of factors are involved that appear to lead to secondary polycythemia. A high content of red blood cells builds up in response to low oxygen concentration in the air. Because there's less oxygen in the blood, the body attempts to overcome the lack by making more red blood cells. It doesn't stop, however, and keeps producing them until there are too many. The bone marrow can also be overstimulated by testosterone replacement therapy.

I am staying off for awhile and I will recheck in 2 months.
Thanks!!
