Hyper?

I had two tests with the thyroid panel. In one I was stressed and it was high. In the other I was calm and the results were low. today i had a free t3 and free t4 test. i was told i didnt have to fast. will stress, foods, vitamins or anything affect the free t3/free t4 test?

You should never take your thyroid meds before your labs.....ALWAYS take them after your bloodwork is done.
When you get your results, get a copy of your labs so you can post them with lab ranges for us to take a look at. :)
