What are the actual levels of the hormones (T3 and T4) and are they Free or Total?  Please post your lab results, along with the reference ranges for each, since these vary from lab to lab, so must come from your own report.  

Just because levels fall within the range, doesn't mean they are "normal".  

We can't really comment much further without knowing your actual levels, including TSH.

Are those Free T3 and Free T4, or are they total T3 and Total T4?  That's important because the totals are considered to be pretty much obsolete and of little value.

Even at that, although in range, your T4 is very low in its range; and T3 is not even mid range.  

What, if any, medication are you currently taking and what's the dosage?  If you are on med, it looks like you need an increase, if not, you need to start.

Please let me know about the T3 and T4; whether or not they are Free to Total.
