Another new member - trying to figure it all out

Hello fellow members. I started out already trying to post my pre-treatment lab results instead of introducing myself. Now waiting for it to get approved in the Blood Test forum area.

I've been searching for the cause/s of my health issues that started in April last year with a major vertigo attack, that led to a panic attack - which I mistook for a heart attack. Three trips to emergency, all with full cardiac workups, led me to a cardiologist and neurologist all which came up empty. Same with my PCP. Being an engineer, I did what we all do, and started my own research. That led me to Wellness/Integrative medicines, lots of research, change in diet, sleep habits, role change at work (to reduce stress), and ultimately to researching my own diagnostic tests -- including thyroid and hormones -- where I finally found some issues.

That led me to TRT research and ultimately ExcelMale -- obviously one of the top male hormone related sites available these days. I look forward to learning from others, and sharing when I can. As I often quote to younger employees I help train, "Nothing of me is original, I am the combined knowledge of every person I have ever known."

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
