thyroid test levels and hyperthyroidism or Graves Disease

My doctor doesn't say I have hyperthyroidism or Graves disease but I think I might have one of these.

My history is as follows:
1996 tsh .53 scale .47-5.01, t3 .85 scale .72-1.24, t4 6.5 scale 4.5-12.0
2008 tsh .40 scale .40-4.50, t3 378 scale 230-420, t4 not tested
2010 tsh .39 scale .40-4.50, t3 352 scale 230-420, t4 1.2 scale 0.8-1.8
Currently have multinodule goiter with a cystic lesion.

Feel like I'm am going crazy.

but keep in mind - just because I said the TSH is low... for many hypothyroid patients =- they strive to get their levels where you aer at right now..

Its all about you

Your symptoms could indicate some hyperness... really the free T3 with your low TSH has to be done to know for sure.

The only tests I have had was for the tsh, t3, t4 and a ultrasound.

Symptoms included being cold with hotflashes when excited, night sweats, palpitations, easily irritated, trouble concentrating, and depression.

I went to my general practitioner yesterday because I was upset and started crying at work. My pulse was 101 and I was having palpitations. My blood pressure was 131/94.
Usually my pulse is around 80 and my blood pressure is 115/70.
I stopped having a menstrual on 10/19/10. Took 5 provera pills to help me start and only spotted. I am not pregnant. My Gyno. gave me 5 more pills to try again.

I will check out the testing you are mentioning.

Thank you

no actually I don't see hyperthyroidism here on these labs... Also it doesn't look like the free testing was done to best determine what is really going on..

Have you been looking over other posts and see how important free testing is? Take a peek at many posts here.

Also - what symptoms are you having or explain how you are going crazy?

Did you have Hashimoto testing done? Read about that too w/ your goiter issue.
