Elevated BP, Lethargy, Itchy Eyes And Edema After Taking Testosterone Injections For Low T. Is This Normal?
I recently started testosterone injections for low T. I am having elevated blood pressure, lethargy, edema and scratchy eyes (irritation). Are these side effects of testosterone injections? If so, will they go away or should I contact my urologist who prescribed the supplements?

Welcome to HCM.
These symptoms might be due to side effect after testosterone injection.
This medication can cause your body to hold on to extra body water (edema). This can increase your risk of cardiac effect. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious signs of water retention or heart failure occur: decreased exercise ability, hands/ankles/feet swelling, unusual tiredness, shortness of breath while lying down.
Contact your urologist to review your condition.
