High TSH high T3

by gitte, Dec 01, 2008 08:49AM

Hello
My daughter is ill with headache, fatigue, nausea, dizzy. strange feeling in her legs and the doctors has been taking a lot of tests. Her thyroid blood test was looking a bit strange - high TSH 4,8 (normal range 0,3-4,0) and fT3 about 9 (normal range up to 6). I don't have T4 numbers. Can High TSH and high T3 leed to her symptoms?
I would be very glad for some answers.
Lots of greetings
Gitte from DK

Something is definately going on there. Did she have any antibody tests done for Hashimotos or Graves? I would ask for those and a retest on the tsh, free t4 and free t3. It is important to know the free t4 level along with these ranges. See if you can find out what the free t4 level was and double check the numbers you gave and lets take a look then.
