Recently I have had blood report for Thyroid. Can you please suggest what is results. Currently I'm experiencing some symptoms of Hypo like sleeping disturbance, anxiety, frequent bowl etc.
T3 93 (60 - 200)
T4 8.3 ( 4.5 - 12.0)
TSH 6.50 (0.30 - 5.5)
FT3 3.19 (1.7 - 4.2)
FT4 1.16 (0.70 - 1.80)
ANTIBODY 7 IU/mL (Negative : <34)
Can any one please analyses the results.
You need also, to have a Free T3 tests. FT3 is the hormone that's actually used by the individual cells.
Adequate thyroid hormones are critical for the growth and development of a fetus. Your FT4 is too low in the range, your TSH is too high (accepted range is actually 0.3-3.0 rather than the one used by your lab); this indicates that your FT3 is probably too low, as well.
In my opinion, you should follow your doctor's advice.
I have TSH of 5.75 when normal range is 0.45 - 4.5 uIU/ml. My free T4 is 1.18 with range of 0.82-1.77 ng/dl. Thyroid peroxidase is 10 with range of 0-34 IU/mL. Vit-D is 18.7 range of 30-100 ng/ml. I am planning to get pregnant now so my doctor advised me medication for thyroid. Is it really needed or I might be causing more harm. Wat are the side effects of taking the medication when it might not be really needed.
