I doubt pathology, like adrenal or testicular tumors, is causing your mildly elevated testosterone level. You don't mention any symptoms or abnormal signs. . However, an endocrinologist is best to evaluate and advise you.

Normal levels have a great variation depending on many variables e. g. time of day. It is best to get it repeated on early am specimen . if still high ask again.
