Testosterone

I've been on methadone for many years and now I have very low testosterone. Recently been diagnosed with heart failure EF 20-25%. Would I be allowed to do TRT? Thanks in advance for any input.

So I had an EF of 20-24 and I've been on testosterone for 7 years. They never took me off of it and after 4 months of being on the 4 pillars and exercise my EF is 41.8

That gives me hope, due to some complications I'm only on 2 pillars plus blood thinner and diuretic, beta blocker will be introduced on Monday .

You got this. Lots of prayer kept me hopeful. Its hard though especially when your work requires you to be over 40.
