[9thvenom]

Also have severe sleep apnea, i work out at least 4 times a week eat as healthy as i can supplement 10,000 iu of vitamin d per day, take a multi, zinc, magnesium, and dhea, just wanna feel normal again!

What exactly should i ask for as far as the bloodwork so i make sure everything is covered? I wanna leave no stone unturned.

If you haven't fixed your sleep apnea the bloods will be worthless. Fix the sleep apnea first and then get the bloods done. You can die from sleep apnea.

Thank you for the input i have an appointment with the doc for the sleep apnea, tried the cpap before but couldnt get used to the mask or id wake up and it would be on the floor, as for the other stuff i was already experiencing what i think is low test before i was diagnosed with sleep apnea.

I agree with above. If youre not sleeping right your test numbers will be lower than normal.
Get the full male panel and be sure they look at thyroid too.

I’ll guarantee if you fix the sleep apnea you’ll be fine. That’s is a huge factor in low test levels.

For someone with severe apnea. The change from not having it dealt with and after is dramatic. Start there.
