heard that high HCT from TRT can be caused by sleep apnea. has anyone lowered there with a CPAP?

It’s only been two weeks since using, but this has been the best I’ve felt mentally and physically in 20+ years. Almost trt honeymoon period feeling. Had multiple sleep studies done, all showing minor to moderate snoring, but not enough to label sleep apnea or get a cpap. Have been on and off...

For those of you that are interested in sleep apnea, how bad or good is this? I never feel really refreshed after sleep. Any knowledgeable input or experience is welcome.

I did a clinical sleep apnea test in 2007 and paid well over $5000 to get clinical testing done. Back then my insurance covered everything. If you don't have insurance it could be a problem and this sleep apnea problem needs to be controlled. I just saw this on CPAP.com. I have been using...

Are injections more likely to cause or increase sleep apnea issues than cream?

This week, we are joined by our good friend, Dr. Andrew Rivera, ENT (ear, nose, throat doctor), to share his thoughts about what most of us experience in our sleep — snoring. Snoring could be seen as something normal but it could also lead to a lot of deeper medical implications. Check out the...

Does type of delivery method have any impact on potential sleep apnea issues? Meaning do injections potentially increase risk of developing or worsening sleep apnea vs other methods such as creams?

Anyone been officially diagnosed with mild apnea, tried CPAP and just couldn't tolerate any mask. Then, try a mouthpiece and have success?

Has anybody noticed this? In general I'm seeing 0.8 - 1.3 events per hour (with CPAP) and then on the third night after no AI it reliably creeps up to 2.2 - 2.4.

As part of an unsuccessful recent experiment with my protocol (nandrolone added to testosterone), my sleep apnea appears to have gotten noticeably worse over a very short period of time. I haven't been treating my OSA since it's typically so mild if I sleep on my side. I'm wondering if anyone...

Robot Check This product is amazing. I have no affiliation with the company other than I purchased this a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing. I have found it to be a mild remedy for mild sleep apnea because it vibrates if my O2 drops below whatever percentage I specify. The device...

I’m 57 yr male, in great shape, lift weights 3 times weekly. I’ve been on clomid self prescribed hrt for 4 years. 25mg 4 days a week. Last time I had my testosterone checked it came back over 1500 so the free was inaccurate. Estrodiol was 64.9. I have felt really good. I decided to start using...

I believe something happened what I was afraid off. After starting TRT I became more and more dissatisfied with my job as time went on. In June I turned 35 and a mid life crisis hit me, I wanna retire, go to a gym, talk to women, but I have enough savings to last only two years without touching...

I am one month and half from starting TRT did great as I went up, doing 25mg sustanon ,500HCG, 0.025mg arimidix EOD. It all started as I reached my stable high T levels. currently these are my results: T: between 21 and 26 E: 17 and can go up to 30 SHBG: 24.3 Hematocrit went from 43 to 47 same...

37 y/o male, just had in-home sleep study, results attached. It showed a low amount of obstructive apneas but I had a high amount of hypopneas which gave me an AHI of 16.3. Sleep doc is saying to do a CPAP/APAP machine based on the AHI being greater than 5. I am also with Defy, and was about...

Will sleep apnea alone cause clinically high Hematocrit? If so, will a CPAP machine lower it? I don’t know that I actually have sleep apnea but I will be getting tested in 2 weeks. But even before TRT I had borderline/clinically high Hematocrit, at least since 2013. Before that it was normal...

I have been dealing with low T and low rate ogen for quite a while now, and I noticed that there was a direct correlation between my levels dropping and my sleep going to crap. I am waking up 5 to 6 times a night. I got a new primary care doctor, and he suggested a sleep study to see if I had...

I keep waking up in the middle of the night and a sleep study costs $700 AFTER INSURANCE where I live. A CPAP can be bought for cheaper. I did a home oxymetry and it showed no apnea but I have a genetic disorder which makes my body oxygen deficient. Any suggestions on where to buy one...

Very good lecture. I learned a lot about the different options.

Briefing I'm a 33 year old male I started having libido swings In 2015 while my wife was pregnant but no erection issue. Weeks of my usual high libido then a week of low libido And about 9 months later I experienced Ed out of the blue so I went to my urologist and he put me on 25mg of clomid...

So I got my 6 week labs and it shows TT at 330, Estradiol at 43, SHBG 16.8 (started at 29 pre TRT) and Free T at just under 10 (they want me at 25 but I would take 15 to be honest). They have me dosed at 140mg Test Cyp weekly however after this lab they bumped me to 200mg weekly. I am doing much...

Hey again! So, The title says it all. My wife heard me a about a month ago stop breathing while I was a sleep, I took a home study and after 3 nights of testing I got this diagnosis. Questions: 1) I don't know if I had this before starting TRT. Is TRT the cause? <--I doubt it 2) Was the...

Why is that some people can sleep through the night while others toss and turn? No matter how early or late you get to bed, you can't seem to get a full night of rest? You've tried just about everything to improve your sleep--sleeping pills, valerian root, napping, eating before bedtime, not...
