What does the 'H' flag mean on a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My testosterone level is 949.95 and my age is 28. It is a little high but three years ago it was 556. Is it possible to increase 400 units in three years while I have just 59 kg weight and 175 cm height? Is it still too high? The test report is otherwise normal. I have never taken alcohol, tobacco or smoked. Which doctor should I consult? Please tell me what should I do?
