Hello @dlca, Welcome to Connect. Here's an article that discusses high testosterone levels and when to see a doctor.
-- What are the signs and symptoms of high testosterone in males?

You mentioned you don't have any health issues and are not taking any medicines. I'm assuming you had some testing done where they found the high levels. Have you been able to discuss your concerns with the high testosterone levels with your doctor?

@johnbishop I get blood panels every year as part of my wellness check. One year ago the value was 1000, and this year it was 1100 (sorry, I don't have the units at hand). I think the upper bound of 'normal' was something like 800. I'm not certain of the upper bound, but at any rate I am above it, and it is increasing compared to last year.

I in fact pointed it out to the primary care pa (he did not bring it up on his own accord), and he didn't have much to say. He asked if I thought it was causing any problems, for example "are you getting into fights?" (he actually asked that!). I should note I'm a completely normal and benign milquetoast kind of guy, so I laughed out loud at that one. He seemed to think there wasn't any problem, and didn't have anything more to say, other than most guys would love to have such high numbers. I should also note I'm 6'2" 180lb, a Taichi yoga kind of guy.
If this really isn't a problem I'm happy to stop thinking about it.
