What Causes A Dip In Testosterone Level?

I have recently gotten my testosterone levels checked due to alot of symptoms that looked like low testosterone. I am convinced my symptoms are due to low testosterone although my doctor is saying my level (358 ng/dl) is normal . Although I have done some research and alot of websites and charts are stating my levels are that of an older man. Also I feel he is wrong also because he does not know what my body may have naturally had before, maybe I have recently dropped a great amount of testosterone which has led me to these symptoms? They are just assuming that my levels should be that because the it fits in the low range of the normal range . If you agree I need a treatment are you able to prescribe me a gel or anything to help if I was to send my blood results?

Hi your testosterone value is within normal range.
Its always good to compare your value with the normal range of values given by that particular lab because the normal range often varies from lab to lab.
Never ever use direct form of testosterone tablet or gel its rather more harmful than beneficial.
