He said that the total testosterone level is still low, but that the protein that binds the testosterone is also low so he is not concerned about my low total testosterone. My estrodial is slightly elevated.
Basically, he has said at this point that he does not know what is causing my fatigue.
Can you help? Can you see anything here, or suggest anything additionally that I need to try or look for? Thank you in advance... I am really, really frustrated.
t ask my doctor about it. And next visit I plan to mention my sleep apnea problem. It only happens when I sleep on my back, so I try to sleep on my side, but I have severe pain, so I toss all night long. When I am on my back I will awaken, gasping for air, fall asleep and within minutes it happens again. My wife hears me gasping a lot during the night, even when I don't notice.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
I currently have intermittant cases of sleep paralysis that has occationally come with sleep hallucinations, i tend to have low energy throughout the day and feel like i can never drink enough coffee. i also have low testosterone levels. are these low testosterone levels likely an indicator a sleep condition?
37 year old fit male with no previous health issues. I do have mild obstructive sleep apnea and I'm on CPAP with beautiful numbers that indicate that it is working fine. I've filmed myself waking up frequently throughout the night for an unknown reason and looking around.
Two previous ER visits for racing heartbeat, blood pressure went up as high as 173/100, cold feeling in chest during that time, "bubbly" feeling in chest/below left rib cage and lower left side.
I was first sent to get a sleep study and came back as having moderate sleep apnea. After a month of treatment, my symptoms still hadn't improved so I went back to my primary care doc and asked him to do a work up on other things that can cause energy issues, including low t. My vitamin d was also severely low (I work in an office). Anyway. I've been reading about all the different possible causes of low testosterone and I'm just really concerned.
Hello, It has been found that an increase in sex hormones testosterone and estrogen, along with heredity, weight issues, caffeine, diet, alcohol, smoking, lack of exercise, sleep apnea, heat, medications, eating certain foods, herbal supplements, high concentrations of B Vitamins, etc. can all be contributing factors to high blood pressure in teens/young adults.
The symptoms can be due to low testosterone, anemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, or due to kidney or liver problems. Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out. Other possibilities are chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium.

One thing that can happen during testosterone therapy are breathing problems while you sleep or sleep apnea. I think it normally happens when on for awhile but since you mention fatigue and being tired, this came to mind. In the off chance that is the case, you'd want to know about it. I would talk to your doctor about this most definitely. I do think the therapy works for a lot of men but I would talk to your doctor about what you are experiencing.

Hi, Dr Carolyn Dean talks about sleep apnea and Magnesium supplementation . If you google : Magnesium and sleep Apnea.
I have family members who also refuses to use CPAP, so they are trying Mg instead. Still at the starting stage. But what I could tell you is that snoring is definitely less.. :)
Sleep apnea causes high BP, memory loss, headaches, poor concentration, fatigue and so many more..
So I'd say, give Mg Glycinate a try..

Hyperthyroidism too causes increased sweating and tiredness. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
