Question 1

I've been hitting the gym consistently for the past couple of months and can definitely feel myself getting stronger. But I've been reading online and I'm worried I might have low testosterone since a lot of the symptoms match what I've been experiencing. How do I go about testing my testosterone levels? Also, is there any medication to boost testosterone that wont come with major side effects? Just so you know, I've got hypertension and I'm overweight, though I've been shedding some pounds slowlycurrently at 88 kgs and I'm 5ft 7inches.

Accepted Answer

To test your testosterone levels, consult   an endocrinologist who will recommend a blood test, typically taken in the morning when testosterone levels are highest, and may also perform a physical exam and review your medical history; if diagnosed with low testosterone, treatment options may include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) via gels, patches, or injections, but be aware that TRT may have side effects, such as acne, sleep apnea, or prostate issues; given your hypertension and weight status, lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, weight loss, and stress management, can also help boost testosterone levels naturally.

Borderline Short PR Interval_

1. _Definition*: A PR interval measures the time between the onset of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex. A borderline short PR interval is typically considered to be between 120-140 milliseconds.
2. _Causes*: A borderline short PR interval can be caused by various factors, including:
    - Enhanced atrioventricular (AV) node conduction
    - Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome
    - Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome
    - Cardiac electrolyte imbalances
3. _Treatment*: Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If the borderline short PR interval is caused by an accessory electrical pathway (WPW or LGL syndrome), treatment may involve:
    - Catheter ablation to destroy the accessory pathway
    - Medications to regulate heart rhythm
    - Pacemaker implantation (in some cases)
4. _Worry level*: A borderline short PR interval is generally not a cause for concern. However, it's essential to consult a cardiologist to determine the underlying cause and receive proper guidance.
