Testosterone and thyroid issues

[joebud]

28, thyroid level of 8.8 and testosterone level of low 200's to high 100's. Had low sex drive for past 3 years. Really bad fatigue. Pulse in high 50's and body temp around 96. High bad cholestorol (240), total cholesterol (305), and tryglicerides and feel exhausted from all of thhe issues I have at such a young age. Am seeing an endocronologist but wonder if there are certain tests I should ask for.  Can these all be related somehow? Have a brother with low testosterone also and wonder if it is coincidence, genetic, or if we were introduced to something that could've caused this or if he should get his thyroid level checked also.  Any advice would help so much. Thank you.

With a TSH of 8.8 you have hypothyroidism (if free T4 is low) or subclinical hypothyroidism  witch are causes of high cholesterol (so it's connected), high cholesterol can be responsible to low testosterone . >So first thing is treating the thyroid (with medication) and then investigate the low testosterone , so you could ask the doctor for Thyroid antibodies (TPO and anti-Tg), TSH (repeat to see if it's stays high), free T3 and free T4, LH, FSH, cotisol, free testosterone, total testosterone , prolactin, lipid panel, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), blood glucose, ferritin and tranferin.
