If your doc was concerned about any of those levels he would be in touch with you right away. Your levels are pretty much normal so I wouldn't be blaming low test as to the way you are feeling right now. Do you have any previous levels to compare to?
Your bloods look perfectly normal, all the symptoms you are describing could mean many things not related to low test. Nowadays the first thing people accuse is low test. Are you stressed? Any life changing events happen in your life recently? Change in your eating habits? Cortisol and prolactin levels also cause these symptoms as well as anxiety, stress, and depression.
Lot of other things to consider besides low test. I would also get your thyroid level checked. I am suprised they didn't check that because that is pretty standard protocol when being assessed for low T.
Exactly, thyroid, infection, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, internal issues. So many variables that a full blood and physical can detect.
Agreed. Thyroid should be one of the first things checked. It causes a litany of issues. Most docs usually check it as standard procedure. Maybe this guy did as well.
really need to see the full blood panel including hematocrit, RBC. lipids, liver values etc. to help look at the full picture here.
my guess is you don't feel well because of elevated prolactin. surprised your test and free test is doing as well as they are with elevated prolactin and estrogen at the high range of normal.
it's very important you have this resolved. what is your Cycle history? have you run any 19-nor's meaning deca or tren? what's your Cycle history? when was the last time? what were your pre, intra and post Cycle blood panels like?
