Question on high E2 and low test

50y old Male. Never been on TRT

Tested as follows:

Estradiol Result <92 pmol/L

Test (total) 11.3 nmol/L

My test was at 8.6 last time it was tested 3 months ago. Everything I'm reading is that 92 pmo/L is very high for E2. When you compare it to my total test , it's even more alarming.

My stress level is very high, no doubt adding to my E2...high E2 causes anxiety which increases cortisol. I'm struggling for a way to break this loop.

Will an AI kill all aromatization to E2, or just test to E2 pathway? I want to crash the E2 as low as I can safely go before starting any kind of TRT.

I'm pursuing other avenues for the stress situation.
