Low blood pressure directly affects your Feeling lightheaded with or without exercises.

Yes, low testosterone can be associated with autonomic dysregulation, particularly an unfavorable shift in cardiovascular autonomic tone in men, and low testosterone has been linked to a higher risk of autonomic dysfunction, though the exact nature of the relationship is complex and multifactorial. Studies suggest a bidirectional link where low testosterone and autonomic dysfunction can influence each other, often in the context of conditions like metabolic syndrome.

Here is an article that discusses the above in more detail.

Thanks. Those studies discuss low testosterone, but not the essentially zero testosterone of ADT. So far I have no evidence of glucose intolerance or metabolic syndrome. I wonder if anyone has looked at CAN in ADT patients. Looks like the mechanism is too complex to suggest an intervention on my part.
