Is it Hyperthyroid? Help me with my test?

I am  44 years old. I have all the symptoms of Hyperthyroid. I have anxiety, lost 30 lbs in 1 year, insomnia, rapid pulse, very fatigued but still can't sleep. My last blood test shows TSH 0.476 Reference range is 0.450 - 4.500
so I am on the low end. Can this mean Hyperthyroid. I have been praying for an answer for a year now. Can anyone help me determine this?

I posted a number that my doctor considers normal while on levothyroxine medication.
it is 1.67 and that is in the normal range.

I was hyperthyroid and took the RAI treatment and went hypo and now through medication am considered normal.. I still have aches and pains and tired etc.  That is why I want to know if even my number that is considered normal is really my normal.

hope you get onto a program to get normal readings soon.
