Do I have hypo or hyperthyroid

[Nate23]

Hi Dr.,
Im kind of concern because I dont know what i have because i went to do a blood test and my regular doctor told me that my T-uptake was high. Im having symptoms like fatigue, tired all the time, muscle weakness, can't conentrate, constipation, and depression. I don't feel like doing much. I know Im not lazy. I like to exercise but exercise should make you feel better, but the for me. I feel exhausted all the time. So please help me. Can it be my thyroid or my parathyroid.

It's my opinion that what you describe is HYPO... but that's just MY opinion. . . I'm NOT a doctor... Good Luck!

Are you sure you are stating it correctly? The T-uptake provides information about the structure and function of the thyroid. It is not a blood test. You would either swallow something or have something injected into your vein as I understand it and then the Dr. see's how much of it is absorbed into the thyroid.

Are you sure the Dr. didn't say your TSH level was high?  If so it means you are likely to be Hypothyroid which can be taken care of with simple medication. Lots of people deal with it.

Let your Dr. follow up and give you what tests are neccessary. I am not a Dr,--  only someone who has dealt with and done lots of research on the Thyroid so definatly not a Dr.
