Thyroid hormone or Testosterone?

[Rhino 2.0]

Can low total T3 levels cause symptoms of low testosterone?? I have symptoms of low t but i don't know if there related to testosterone because I have normal levels. Total testosterone is 645ng/dl and free restoserone is 17.6 pg/ml from a range of 9.3-26.5. I got estradiol measured a couple times and it came pack at 30 pg/ml once and 36pg/ml the second time. My thyroid test showed TSH being normal below 2 and fee t4 was perfectly in range. My total T3 however was low and 72 and the range was 76-181. So I am wandering if my symptoms are caused by my low t3 level, estrogen, or testosterone ? would love to hear what you think! thanks!

T3 sounds more probable than anything else you mentioned. have you had any iron testing, like Ferritin?

No i have not. I should probably get a full thyroid panel though. Doctors these days think you're normal if you're TSH and free T4 are good so It might be hard to get everything tested. But if you are hypothyroid you are supposed to feel cold all the time? I never feel cold.
