Low T3 and sythroid making my heart race

Hi- I was just prescribed synthroid 25 mcg on Monday and it makes me feel like my heart is racing.

I have felt exhausted for months, had a strange pressure in my neck, and had other symptoms of hypothyroid.

But most of my lab results were in the normal range but on the low end. I want to make sure I'm not taking medicine I don't need!

These are my levels:
TSH: 1.07
FT3: 2.7
FT4: 1.1
Reverse T3: 16

I did have small sub centimeter nodules on both sides of my thyroid. Any thoughts? I am new to all of this, so I would appreciate it.

There is much to discuss, but first please post the reference ranges shown on the lab report for those results.  Also, what were the other symptoms you mentioned?
