DOCTOR..,ANYONE ? HELP

[Benny0147]

OK,for most of my life..I felt I had a slow metabolisum....and HYPOTHYROID..with all the symtoms..now all of a sudden my heat was racing..90-100BPM at rest...normaly is 50-60  im an athlete...my last test was
TSI 138-  RANGE < 125 BASELINE

FREE T4 - 1.6- RANGE  0.8-1.8

FREE T3- 504-RANGE 230-420

TSH-      0.01- RANGE 0.40-4.50
TEST WAS DONE AT QUEST.
ive taken stimulints my whole life..(all legal) for energy..maybe this the cause.. seems they leaning towards GRAVES

whats this mean to my exerciseing ? normaly 3 hrs a day..and what about competing ?? doesnt most people who get treated for HYPER...end up with HYPO ? I do not need that...
could this have happen from being on TESTOSTERONE ?
THANKS FOR THE HELP.
im 35,M

I cant stop/ nor cut back to much on exercise ! Im a pro athlete..

now..in the past..I took some T3 cytomel..as alot of stars and athletes do for weigt loss...im thinking this caused this......

Testosterone would not cause this.  You are right -- it looks like Graves.  I assume you are not on thyroid meds (you mentioned feeling hypo, but were never diagnosed with hypo in the past from how I read your post).

It is possible to use a medication like tapazole to bring things back into range, in the meantime - cut back on exercise until heart rate at rest is better controlled (consistently <80).
