Is drowsiness a symptom of low testosterone?
The reason that I ask is that my doctor has been evaluating me for the possibility of low testosterone. I’m having my tests repeated and will see the doctor again next week due to inconsistencies in my test results.
I frequently see “fatigue” and “brain fog” cited as symptoms of low testosterone (among many other illnesses, such as low thyroid). For me, drowsiness encompasses elements of both as I frequently experience fatigue and brain fog in spite of getting plenty of rest.
For instance, I woke up at 9:20 this morning and immediately ran four miles on a treadmill before breakfast. However, after breakfast, I became so sleepy that I laid down in bed for a while; in spite of this, I could not sleep any more. All day long, I have felt somewhat drowsy, foggy, and unfocused.
I want to know if these types of symptoms are likely indicative of low testosterone. I understand that “fatigue” and “brain fog” can be low-T symptoms, but what about drowsiness?
