tsh level 4.390

by shayshee928, Sep 02, 2009 05:02PM

Tags: TSH test results

My doctor says a tsh level of 4.390 is normal. However I feel terrible. I have many of the symptoms of Hypothyroidism. It also runs in my family. I do not have health insurance. Any suggestions?

Did your doctor do a T3 and T4 as well as a TSH? a TSH alone will not give the entire answer, I have hashimotos "Hypothyroidism" and when my TSH is 4.3 I have a lot of symptoms.

I would contact your doctor and ask more questions:
Ask if they did the T3 and T4 and what those levels were

If they DID do those AND they are within normal range too then i would retest in 3 months to see if your levels are still the same.

Hope you get some answers soon.
