graves or hyperthyroidism

Hi there, I posted awhile ago about Liddle's syndrome, but I am actually thinking I have Grave's or hyperthyroidism. I was just wondering if anyone out there has been diagnosed with it and had normal TSH levels. The last 5 times I had it checked they ranged from .9 up to 1.9. I am in the process of having blood work done to check my t3 and t4 levels, thyroid antibody and cortisol. Has anyone diagnosed with it ever had low aldosterone levels? And if I get my cortisol results back before I see the endo, would the results be high or low with hyperthyroidism?
Thank you
Bridget

I am thinking I have hyperthyroidism too, my tsh levels are always on the low side(but within normal range), just waiting for the thyroid antibody tests to come back.

Hi Bridget
Usually the TSH is low if you have Graves and Hyperthyroidism and a TSI test would rule whether you have Graves or not.
As for the Cortisol...mine has always been in the normal range.

I had RAI & TT last year and doing ok.
