Type 2 you just described me. Man, i would really appreciate if you could give me some advice on how to fix this issue.
First things first, i've never taken ARB's or BB just some pde5 here and there for the bonerz. I don't take preworkouts but i drink a strong coffee and workout days i'm having a monster zero energy drink, which (says) it has 160mg caffeine but i doubt it.
Before starting gear my HCT, platelets and HGB were borderline low (i was well hydrated prior). Serum Na at 135 (130-145), K 3,6 (3,5 - 5) and Ca, P, Mg in mid normal.
After 3 months on 200 T/week HCT creeped up to 45 from 42 and HGB and RBC followed. My BP is at 105/56 in the mornings and 112/63 in the evenings, RHR is ~65 most of the times despite the LISS cardio and walks.
I've never measured serum insulin though. My bg fasted before was 82 with a high A1c of 5,6 and 3 months on T and some berberine my fasted came out at 100 (i had a big refeed 2 days ago, don't know if it plays a role that far away) but my A1c came back at 5,0.
I'm kinda confused and don't know how to proceed because first i thought it was a blood volume issue and was planning to add more sodium, but with already low potassium i thought raising my potassium intake it will fix my low K serum but excess potassium will excrete more sodium and this will lead to even lower blood pressure. I'm kinda confused. My main goal is to raise diastolic pressure, i don't want to end up in a state with a good diastolic between 70-80 and a systolic of 140+. Any suggestions?
