Understanding labs

I am a 51yr old female.  
I had Basic Metabolic Panel. The reason; I am extremely tired, panic attacks, anxiet,yawning. I am currently taking Zyrtec only when I recieve my allergy injections.
. I had a hysterectomy in 2006 retaining my ovaries.  My new doctor ordered these test and the ones listed are of question. Perhaps you could help me.
TSH 3RD Generation ref f0.35-5.50 my results 7.002  
Estradiol Postmenopausal ref range <37 my results <10
FSH--ref 23.0-116.3 My results 27.8
Eosinophils ref .01-4.5 my results 8.5--I do take allergy injections--I have indoor and outdoor allergies
Would you please explain these to me. Thank you for your time and talent

The high TSH level indicates you are going hypo. Did your doctor say anything about the level being high? You could ask to be put on thyroid medication.

From I have read some labs do not use the new lab ranges on the TSH .3-3.5 .

The high TSH is consistent w/ possible hypothyroidism, would retest in 4-6 weeks to confirm before committing to meds.  The low estrogen may be consistent with menopause - ask your GYN about this.  The allergist should be able to explain that eosinophils rise w/ allergies.....
