Those symptoms can be signs of low testosterone, but they can also have many other causes (thyroid issues, sleep apnea, depression, vitamin deficiencies, etc.).
First, Get Tested
See your doctor for a simple blood test before assuming it's testosterone. Self-treating without knowing your levels can cause harm.
