I'm vegan, have been for about 11 years, and I've always had good cholesterol numbers and decent blood pressure numbers. I heard that T can raise these, but obviously, it's hard to say whether it will have that sort of effect on me, or as much of an effect, given my atypical diet.
At the doctor a month ago, my blood pressure was something like 140 over 100. The other day at the pharmacy, it was 138 over 70. Both are a bit high for me. I have been restricting my intake quite a lot lately (which is a whole other thing, not related to T and just my own neuroses) but I had been doing relatively well prior to that, I think, aside from probably overeating some after first starting T.
*EDIT* The 140 over 100 number at the doctor, the nurse had said that was likely just nerves, but I've never had that sort of a reaction to being in a doctor's office, so I'm not wholly convinced. But it is possible, for me and anyone else. So I would advise anyone who's worried about BP to check it in other settings. (I realize OP is concerned also about blood lipids. I can't speak to those, but the two do often go hand in hand.)
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows about T and being vegan, whether these things are still somewhat likely to happen. I'm 26 years old, 27 in June, so as far as the BP numbers, well, that might just be a consequence of getting older. But I can't say for sure if that's something that happens predictably in my family, since I don't have contact with a lot of them, and the ones I do have vastly different habits from mine.
