Hello......New to the group.... have found it to be very helpful. I was wondering if anyone may be able to help.
Short story Age 48. : I needed a physical (been a while since the last one). I requested blood work to check chol/tri/etc levels. Had also requesedt a test level as well.(done March 4th) Results come back. Everything looks very good. Test levels are at 474. I realize this isn't low per say, but felt that they should be higher, given my diet and amount of time working out.Also, am using info on internet as to a general rule in regards to age/levels. Called Doctor to request another blood work to find out free test and estrogen levels, etc, since the only test number was a total. Doctor granted another one with only free test being approved.(Done March 14th)
Results come back with an increase of test to 510 and a free test result of 101.0 (ref range 35.0 - 155.0).
My question is: Can test raise 34 points in 10 days? I don't mean to sound idiotic but a 7% increase in 10 days surprises me given that my diet and activity had not changed. Does it fluctuate that much on a day to day basis.
Also, I realize that there is much more that needs to be determined but is the 101.0 on this scale considered a good level for my age? Free test is measured on diffrent scales. I'm not very familiar with the scale that my test results came back on.
I have been doing much research on this topic in that I'm approching 50(quickly) and still working out hard, I'm very concerned about this topic.
Anyone that can offer any insight to this is greatly appreciated.
