Psa results

I recently got a blood panel done and they tested psa. It's at a 1.25 which I know is not out of normal range but it's higher for me. I am usually at a .8 or so. I didnt have sex 48 hrs before hand but did do legs the night before I was tested. Can that have an effect on psa? I recently added telmisartan 40mg a couple of weeks ago and have been using norandrolone at 100mg a week for the last 6 weeks.
So I guess question is can any of this effect on psa?

Yes, exercise within 2-3 days of the test can raise psa.

I agree with Sly, heavy exercise like squats can increase PSA.

I had my PSA double once when I did heavy exercises and had sex the days leading up to the test. I retested after abstaining from sex and working out for three days prior to the test and my PSA was back to normal. I now make it a practice to abstain from having an orgasm and exercise three days prior to the test. It’s not easy for me as I love both. Lol!
