Don't worry: But discuss w/your doctor. Exercise doesn't really affect t levels. Make sure levels were drawn in the am. They are at the lower end of normal. Other tests are indicated. If you have questions, see an endocrinologist.

LOW T EVAL: Low T Evaluation and diagnosis of cause is critical. At 47 it may be the gradual decline and needs a through workup exam/labs/testiciular US/ and potentially a brain MRI. You will need regular Monitering of testosterone and PSA levels . Follow up with a through PCP and endocrine consult. Low T can cause symptoms of male menopause =ANDROPAUSE.
