Re- posting lab results

Hi again sorry for re-posting but wanted to post my blood test results with the lab ranges. According to my doctor everything was normal but because my symptoms were getting worse ( Heart palp's, dry skin, fuzziness, severe cold intolerance etc..) and he checked my thyroid physically and found a nodule, I was sent to the Endo. My second appointment is in two days and man I hope he gives me some kind of answers and something for these darn palpitations. My throat feels swollen all of the time now.

TSH   1.24          lab  .3 - 3.0
Free T3   4.96     lab   2.8 -7.1
Free T4  13.9      lab    13 - 23   Does this seem normal to anyone now with the lab ranges posted?

Unfortunately I am still waiting to go for an ultrasound and so far the only thing I have been on was the birth control.  Am I experiencing hypo or hyper symptoms? Is that possible?

Your TSH and your Free T3 look pretty good.
Your Free T4 should be at least halfway up the scale, around 18 or 19.

Ask the Endo for antibody tests, and for an ultrasound of the thyroid, if those tests weren't run at your first visit.

There may be other meds you are on that is affecting your Free T4. The Endo will know if that is the case.
