Hello. Thank you for posting.
Testosterone can affect blood pressure. For example, men with high blood pressure may be almost twice as likely to have low testosterone as men with normal blood pressure. On the other hand, too much testosterone can increase blood pressure. Testosterone acts in multiple ways on blood vessels, so this may account for the varying effects. Why has your doctor recommended it? Is it a low dose? Does he or she think the benefits outweigh the risks? Your doctor can help you decide.
