did bloods 4 weeks into treatment of 50mg Test E x2 week+ 500iu x3 week SHBG 14/nmol FSH <0.3 iu/l LH < 0.3 iu/l Oestradiol 168 pmol/l Test 41 Nmol/l Free test 1.37 nmol/l Free Androgen 294 Dhea Sulphate 2.2 umol/l My RHR wasnt great before (mid to low 80s) but its shot up to the mid 90s this week. BP is still good. How would you approach this. Currently taking cod liver oils zinc and magnesium. Making a considerable effort to do cardio 5x a week and get my steps in to help improve it.

Your lab results look good considering your dose. However, considering the half-life, you usually are better off waiting 7-8 weeks after starting to get labs. At 4 weeks your levels haven’t stabilized yet.
You don’t seem to have excess of either testosterone or estradiol, so your elevated heart rate is likely due to testosterones activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Testosterone has a direct correlation with the sympathetic nervous system, catecholamine release, and the body’s stress response. So a slight elevation of heart rate by ~10 BPM is considered normal, especially in the first 6 months or so.
Give it some time, your body is still acclimatizing to the TRT. Continue your current regimen and follow-up with your doctor. Some updated labs and reassessment of your symptoms is warranted
