What does it mean?

[Lottie85]

I have recently received some blood tests results back from a specialist and he advised that I needed to be refered to an endocrinologist (bit of a shock as I was not there because of a thyroid related problem)

My TSH is 0.03 and my free Thyroxine is 25.0.

I have tried to arrange to see my GP to get a referral but unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to wait about 2 weeks before I can see anyone.

I have been trying to do some research on the Web, but because I've never had any dealings with thyroid problems before I don't really know where to start.

Are my levels drastic / only slightly off?

I am only 25 and am will be looking to hildren in the near future, what kinds of treatments are available and are they all safe to take for someone of my age and situation?

I feel a bit shell shocked from the results and as though I can't find any answers, so any advice would be very gratefully received.

Thank you :)

Your TSH is low, and your free thyroxine (free T4 or FT4) is above range, so it looks like you are hyperthyroid.  Your levels are not drastically off, but how do you feel?  Do you have lots of hyper symptoms (unexplained weight changes, diarrhea, hand tremors, increase HR and/or BP, etc.)?

FT3 was not tested, and this is a very important piece of the puzzle.  FT3 should be tested as soon as convenient.  You might also request the TSI test.  It's the definitive test for Graves'.

You might want to do some research on Graves' Disease.  

Your doctor will discuss treatment options with you, which include anti-thyroid meds, surgery and RAI (radioactive iodine).

Meant to add, my results didn't show up as 'T3' and 'T4'but just as 'Free Thyroxine'. Were as follows -

TSH = 0.03 (Ref range 0.27 - 4.2 )

Free Thyroxine = 25.0 (Ref range 12.0 - 22.0 )
