Colapsed - to run down???

[Complete novice]

I have been suffering with the symptoms of low test for as long as i can remember, mainly the low energy, moodyness and none existent libido or errections, everyday I get really low on energy and feel really weak, but on saturday I felt 10 times worse, was really moody and after shopping for half an hour I colapsed and just felt like I couldnt carry on, my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest. ended up having to get my GF to drive the car home, I fell asleep then woke up then went to bed as soon as we got home.

I felt like death for the whole weekend and went to my GP first thing monday who gave me a check over and said he will try and speed up my next endo visit (who is waiting on a sleep study test as they are confused by my blood results). In the meantime I am stuck in limbo with all the symptoms noticably getting worse.

on top of the what felt like a near death experience I have lost all interest in my GF i`ve got a none existent libido, i`m taking vitamin D3 and trying to eat well, altho with the depression i end up comfort eating..I take cailis which sort of give me an errection but doesnt make me want to actually do anything and its like a chore.

Is there anything other that i can do, i`m losing the will to live....

Can't say to much until you post some blood work. Don't forget to check the thyroid. Many of the symptoms for hypothyroid and lot t are the same. And they often found together.

I've posted the only bloods I have previously but for some reason the endo has only given me certain results! And won't let me have anymore blood tests till I go back and see him again in two months time!!

Needless to say I'm not impressed with that and it's not much help for anyone trying to help me!!

Absolute joke! How can I be collapsing due to exhaustion and lack of energy! Yet the endo won't see me for two months!!

As noted, need bloodwork.

I hope to hell you got Cortisol checked with these labs...

Is there stress in your life???

Find a new endo right away...it's your fault for waiting this long and putting up with the endos delay.

Take control and get help...NOW...not tomorrow or Friday.

Does this sound like you:
•Mid-day fatigue
•Difficulty falling asleep
•Emerging allergies
•Sensitivity to chemicals
•Anxiety
•Increased susceptibility to infections
•Reduced stress tolerance
•Weakened immune function
•Inability to sleep through the night
•Depression
•Aching joints
•Diminished sex drive
•A tendency to feel cold (many individuals and doctors often misdiagnose hypothyroidism)
•Craving for salt and sweets
•Erectile dysfunction
•Loss of muscle mass and strength

Start taking 50mg of micronized DHEA as soon as you can and see if that makes a difference.

Frankly, this sounds like more of a cardiovascular/heart problem than a testosterone one.

Not that you do or don't have testosterone issues, but low testosterone would not account for your heart coming out of your chest. That's hallmark cardio symptoms. To me PERSONALLY, I would tackle life threatening, acute diseases then pursue testosterone. If you have a really good doctor who knows about both, then even better.

Could be heart issue or anxiety attack. But I would definately get any possible heart conditions looked at ASAP. If it is a low T situation then it can wait a little longer whereas your heart won't.

Op, Im dealing with a lot of the same issues. I had my first panic attack when I started noticing low Test and I felt like my heart was going to explode also. I'm not saying that's what you had but it definitely felt like that. I've also dealt with waiting forever for doctors. It feels like they're just jerking you around. You just have to take it day by day and remember it will get better. Good luck to you buddy

i agree with the last 2 posts ,you have given a pretty good description of a panic attack (ive had them on /off most of my life) , whether it was bought on by a physiological or psychological problem your GP is going to have to find out.
