Brief Answer:
Yes, increased stress levels can cause a lowering of testosterone levels

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I am sorry to hear about the abnormal results, but to answer your question during stressful situations or during high levels of stress the body starts producing more of a hormone called cortisol to battle stress and deal with the changes in the body.

Unfortunately, high levels of cortisol are found to be associated with low levels of testosterone and so the answer to your question would be: Yes sir, the stress could have easily caused a lowering in your testosterone levels.

But these high levels of cortisol can only cause a slight lowering of testosterone levels, and so I do think that there are other factors also involved. But the answer to your question is yes sir, stress does cause a lowering in testosterone levels. Please speak to your doctor to help teach you relaxation techniques.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
