I'd be far more worried about BP then cholesterol or RBC with being on medication for it. Where many run into cardiovascular issues using gear is a lot of times left ventricular hypertrophy, which is caused by the blood pressure not just the gear directly. There is evidence that elevated cholesterol alone isn't a very good measurement of cardiovascular risk. I'm not a doctor but there are a few that have YT channels and discuss using gear.
Curcumin at around 800-1,000mg daily can reverse LVH, just FYI. Worth checking into if you are concerned or want to know more.
Thanks man maybe I'll just stick with a low test cycle. I assumed 25 mg var was low enough to be somewhat safe but now I'm second guessing
Var is essentially the only “good” choice for an oral, if you are going to use any, in your specific case - you have the HDL to burn, so to speak, but your LDL is just out of range.
Var is unique as an AAS in that it actually lowers cholesterol all around - including LDL. It was actually considered for a potential cholesterol med, but unfortunately it lowers HDL too radically for it to be helpful. Still, in your particular scenario, and given that it is fairly kind on BP as well, this is a smarter move than even something like Masteron (which would hit HDL some but also creep up LDL).
I would feel very secure going into a cycle with these bloodwork numbers, provided I had Telmisartan on hand to add if the added test raises BP too much. If you can’t get that, consider Carditone and lower your sodium intake if you start holding water.
I’m not a doctor, but I’d like to point out your fasted glucose and trigs are getting borderline on needing some work - the cardio you say you intend to add will address both, so just wanted to reinforce that is a solid plan. And it will support HDL and BP obviously better too.
