Well, 2 years ago I went and tests done on my thyroid goiterChronic thyroiditis (hashimoto’s disease) Goiter Graves disease Toxic nodular goiter and they never gave me the results. I thought everything was ok so I left it alone. I went to the doctor today because it has been giving me problems with swollowing and breathing and she said that the result was .03 back then and immediatly ordered blood work. Is this bad? what does it usually mean? Will I have to take medicine or have surgery? I have never taken medicine for it so I am not sure if it is going to be better or worse. I need help, because I dont understand what this all means and what is happening to me!
Hi Tracy and welcome! Okay please try to stay calm and not worry. You will not know until labs come back if there is anything wrong going on. Just make sure to ask for the proper testing to be done: Blood work- TSHPituitary and tsh Tsh, Free T4T4 test, Free T3, ALL antibody tests for GravesGraves disease and Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease AND you need an ultrasound of your thyroid done.
