Which of these is T3?

by kellyoliviajudith, Mar 08, 2009 04:40PM
My test came back
TSH  <0.03
Free Thyroxine    3.0
Free Triiodothyronine     12.4
I got the results from someone I know that works at the hospital - not from my dr (late Friday)
I cant get in to see Dr until May 11th!   I am just a mess - seems like i have parkinson's disease due to tremor
Should I be worried about these levels? At what point should I be worried? My heart rate has been running 112-130 - but the tremor is the worst part - very embarrasing. I had someone ask me if I was an alcoholic!!!
The Autoimmune part of the blood test was normal.
Someone mentioned that my T3 was high - which test is that one?
Any advice or info is greatly appreciated. Kelly

Free Triiodothyronine     12.4 is the Free T3.  I don't what the range is that your lab uses, but it does appear to be somewhat high.  Your TSH is very low and Free T4 (Thyroxine) appears to be somewhat high, but again, that would depend on the range that your lab uses.  

Have your been previously diagnosed with a thyroid condition?  Are you on any meds?  
With your heart rate being that high all the time, it seems it would be advisable to call the doctor's office and explain the situation and try to get in earlier.  Maybe they can get you in on a cancellation or something.  

Also I'm sure someone else will chime in with some help.
