Suggest Treatment For Low Testosterone Levels
My husband has had blood work done and the only thing they could find is low testosterone levels. He was given a patch but continues to be completely exhaustedp, sleeping 16 or more hours only to wake up tired. He is also having a hard time breathing. Do you have any suggestions for what we should do next? Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Dosage of testosterone might be low, or absorption might be inadequate. Try other methods of administration.
2. If after therapy, the levels have improved to normal levels, then thyroid hormone workup along with complete hemogram will be necessary.
3. Based on results, further opinion possible.
Hope it helps.
