Can Testosterone Shots Be Taken Every Two Weeks Instead Of Every Week Due To BP Being High?

I am a healthy 57 year old male and have been taking testosterone shots for 7 years. I take 1 shot every 7 days. my Primary care physician suggested or strongly requested I discontinue my shots cause my BP is high and I don't want to take pills. I don't handle pills very well. They all make me feel terrible. Any suggestions? What about taking shots every 2 weeks.?

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
Once you start having B.P, there is every possibility of rise of B.P, with the testosteron shots. Any how you can have it every 2 weeks, and then 3 weeks,then 4 weeks.
If there is absolute defeciency due to age, you can have it for harmone replace ment therapy with the advise of a endocrinologist.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein
rich foods to have a natural resourse of the testosterone.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
