Low Testosterone and Headaches

by goldentoad88, Sep 10, 2009 09:08PM
I was tested last week and my labs came back as a testosterone level of 25. My doctor was concerned and is referring  me to an endocrinologist. But he did not tell me any thing more. Could this low level of testosterone be causing my headaches? What usually causes a low testosterone level? How concerned should I be? I am only 21, and I was involved in several blasts while deployed in Afghanistan last year. They say that I received a moderate TBI from one of the blasts. Other symptoms are depression, lack of energy, trouble sleeping, and a irregular heart beat. I don't know if any of them are related. I am just trying to figure out what I can do for myself to get better.

Thank You
Mike

Hi Mike,

Not sure how you stumbled on a thyroid board on this question - but your question about headaches could be associated with your levels.

If you are concerned about your thyroid being effected from the blast. It would be good to ask for thyroid tests to find out.

My doctor said he was going to refer me to an endocrinologist after he got my new labs back. So I looked up endocrinology, and I got the thyroid forums.
