Thickening of Blood

[uspsashooter]

Re: Thickening of Blood - UPDATED

A couple of doctors of mine had advised me to be careful with thickening of blood as AAS tend to do that; AAS increases red blood count. The big concern here is to not have a stroke with such thick blood where my doctor has recommended that I take one baby aspirin (81 mg/tab) once/day. Anyone else here heard of this?

Thanks for everyone on the responses. I got my labs back and it shows that my HGB, RBC, and HCT are little high (slightly); see labs below. My doctor is saying that I am polycythemia (very mild case, in his opinion). Now he wants me to reduce my Test E dosage from 100 mg/4 days to 100 mg/7 days. I know he is trying to scare me as I have seen no evidence that taking the dosages that I am doing for HRT will cause long term health risks. I read up on polycythemia and it sounds pretty nasty (too much blood going to the organs) but there is simple fix, give blood. I'm thinking of going to the Red Cross once/month and give a pint.

The bad part of all this is now my doctor is concerned about my health due to AAS and will scale back on the presription. I have another doctor that I am seeing where I know he won't be as conservative. In fact, I was able to talk him into give me a script for Deca. I will have Mr. conservative doctor treat my diabetes and my other doc treat all other hormonal issues. It's a free country isn't it?

but would there be a problem with taking 1 asprin/day while on EQ???

MY Doc had me on one baby asprin ed

 

[jagerbombme]

i was on prop and when i went in my rbc was up a little but of no concern they told me. i was on approx 500mg of prop a week for 8 weeks, and only up an insignificant amount. bp was good

im not gonna worry about that until i ever try EQ. and then i will run low dose and see how i respond.

i'm about to start my first real eq cycle ever, the high RBC factor and thickening of the blood is what left me undecided between eq and primo, i chose eq for cost and endurance(kickboxing). i don't have a dr, i do get physicals from work once a year, so i don't have a dr to ask about taking baby aspirin, haven't been sick in need of dr in years(knock on wood)...i guess i'll start taking soon. i start my prop, eq, proviron, winny cycle in mid feb...can taking 1 baby aspirin/day be harmful in anyway, before during/after cycle...?

8 hundredths of a point and his diagnosis is that you have polycythemia? He's loopy. Just take the aspirin and make him happy.

take cardiac dose of garlic and also policosanol. both thin he blood and have added CV benefits re hdl/ldl.

also, you wont have the worry about aspirin ulcer or nsai inhibition of protein synthesis post workout (less than cox2 inhibitors, but still demonstrated in some studies)

does that mean aspirin inhibits protien synthesis?

I take 81mg aspirin every single night of my life just for the hell of it. So many benefits have been found in that shit that taking it I guess will not hurt. Most of the benefits are in the long term so let's see what happens....

 

[perp69]

I would take the aspirin away. Can't hurt. Seems like increased hydration would help too.
