I Am A 46 Yr Old Male. I Take 125

I am a 46 yr old male. I take 125 of testerone weekly,lisinopril hct 20-25 daily,nifedipine er 30mg daily,levythroxine 150 mg daily, bupropion 300 mg daily. Because of testosterone I developed polycythemia. I normally have 450ml taken out about every 3 months. Endocrinologist put me on Finasteride 1mg daily. A few weeks ago. 2/12 weeks ago I had a fleubotomy done where they drew 480ml out (hemo was at 19.7) went back to doc to days ago and it was 19.7 again so immediately drew another 470. I came home and googled Finasteride and discovered it was generic for Propecia. 20 yrs ago I was told I was allergic to Propecia (I tried it for hair regrowth). So I immediately stopped Finasteride and called and told my general practitioner. Today I checked my bp and it’s ranging around 165/112 hr at 111. It was running about 134/84 hr 84. I recently crushed my finger at work. Had plate and 8 screws put in my middle phalange on my ring finger, also have a crushed knuckle in middle ip. I do not like pills especially pain pills I took 3 hydrocodone after surgery. Been in physcial therapy for 6 weeks. I’m an underground coal miner, very physcial, I’m about worried to go back to work. What’s your opinion. Any advice greatly appreciated.. sorry I’m off work I can’t afford anything, I’m so sorry and I think you for your time
