I really can't answer that with any technical knowledge. I can, however, tell you that I heard a doctor on an interview last evening saying that for men in their 40's, the normal PSA reading was still around 1.0. At your age, who knows? Men usually aren't screened for PSA levels until age 50, or in their 40's if they have a family history of prostate cancer.
A slightly enlarged prostate may raise your PSA, but not through the roof.
If your PSA is high, most urologists first administer a course of antibiotics to try to eliminate prostate inflammation as a cause for the PSA rise.
If your PSA is high, I would recommend trying the antibiotics, then re-test in a couple of months. Often a high PSA then declines, and if so, infection is suspected. If your PSA remains high, or even increases, further evaluation may be called for.
