StaceyYount Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi Everyone! i know it has been a longggg time since I posted but very bad time POTS wise lately. My question is 2fold, has anyone else tested high for Testerone? It is not hugely high but it is high enough to be odd. I am in menopause.I donut have any symptoms of the high level. Also all of a sudden my BP is high especially the diastolic, has anyone experienced this and have any explanations. I thought I had this POTS symptoms set down but apparently nope!😊 Any light or experiences you can shed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and wishing you all a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8d Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don’t have an explanation for the BP and haven’t had my testosterone tested but am post menopausal and my BP, especially diastolic are high, certainty higher than before. I will be interested if anyone has ideas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi Stacey, welcome back (though I'm sorry you have reason to)! Sorry no answers, I hope someone else will have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relax86 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 At one point I also had elevated testosterone. Never figured it out. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffRockChick Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I had high testosterone when I was on a medication that increased my insulin. (I'm not diabetic, it was a psych med). Elevated insulin is a significant factor in high blood pressure. I would start investigating insulin to see if there's anything that fits what you're experiencing.

HappyBee Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have high testosterone. No one has been able to figure out why though. My doctor put me on a low dose of Spironolactone (also called Aldactone), to help lower it. It worked, but it also lowered my blood pressure and mine was low to begin with, so I had to stop taking it. It might work well for you though, as it is normally used to lower blood pressure. I don't know if the high testosterone is something to worry about, however, if you do not have any symptoms of it. I hope your POTS symptoms improve soon!
