Whats up guys. Past few years been having a wide array of symptoms,
Fatigue, low sex drive, poor memory, low body temp, cold hands & feet, poor concentration, GI disturbances (constipation)
So, I went to the doc and he ordered blood work, here's what we got
DHEA - 218
ALT (SGPT) - 50
Globulin - 2.2
A/G Ratio 2.2
WBC - 3.9
RBC - 4.22
Hemoglobin - 13.3
Hematocrit 38.2
MCH - 32
Lymphocytes - 1.1
TSH - 1.8
Free T3 - 2.8
Free T4 - 0.78
Anti-TPO AB - I'm assuming it is 5.0 because it is bolded and looks like "<5.0 " with no reference range
Vitamin D 25- Hydroxy - 49.30
Total Testosterone - 230
LH - 1.5
Prolactin - 5.35
Progesterone - 0.27
Estradiol - again, bolded and reads "<15"
ANA - 1.78
Dihydrotestosterone - 29
In addition to this, also was given a saliva cortisol test which showed highish cortisol at bedtime, but not too bad;
9AM - 9.8ng/ml
2PM - 4.3
7PM - 3.1
1130PM - 3.2
DHEA 761.7 ph/ml (which I found interesting, especially since the level in my blood was on the low end)
Neurotransmitters were tested and found to be very low. Doc put me on Calm - PRT, Travacor, ExcitaPlus which has helped some with sleep and energy levels during the day
Lipid profile was done as well
Total Cholesterol - 173
LDL - C - 105
HDL - C - 57
Triglycerides - 82
Apo B - 89
Lp(a) - 43
Metabolic
TSH - 1.41
B12 - 1438
RBC Folate - 720
Homocysteine - 9
FSH - 3.9
Slightly low Omega 3's
Basically what came of all this, Doc put me on Calm PRT, ExcitaPlus, and Travacor for neurotransmitters. He mentioned my liver enzymes were elevated so he's treating that with a natural supplement (milk thistle with something else), Niacin for the high LDL and low HDL, and high Lp(a). A blood vessel guard supplement for homocyteseine levels (folinate, magnesium, b6, b12, some other stuff)
My blood pressure has been wacky. Sometimes it is normalish (120/60), Other times it is 130-140/60-70
Symtomns change, I was getting terrible anxiety attacks where my heart rate would explode and I thought I was having a heart attack. I get the occasional heart palpitation, although they have calmed down consideribly in strength and frequency.
I told my doc I was having a urinating problem where it was difficult to initiate, and he checked my prostate and said it was enlarged. Prostate cancer runs in the fam, and my brother (22) has had the occasional same urinating problems.
The doc now has me taking the temp of my urine every morning, the past 5 days it has been low anywhere between 96.7-97.2
I eat super super clean, chicken, grass fed beef, salmon, coconut oil, almond butter, whole eggs, veggies, a small amount of oat bran or brown rice. So don't think it's diet.
Exercise is intense, martial arts & boxing right now, sometimes kettlebells. Sleep is erratic, sometimes its great sometimes eh. I had a sleep study test done and that ruled out sleep apnea.
So right now I'm thinking it is possibly a thyroid issue, but I'm not certain. The low T and enlarged prostate could be genetic or tied to the thyroid somehow but I dont know. Getting an ultrasound of my prostate in two weeks. Also previously had an ultrasound of my thyroid and heart which came back normal (slight mitral valve prolapse) this was about 2 months ago.
Not exactly sure where to go from here, any input would be extremely appreciated!!
Thanks!!
