TSH & Free T4: what's really low

[BlackBart41]

First time tested yielded TSH 0.87 uIU/ml  and free T4 of 0.83 ng/dL.

I realize that the TSH reading is within the reference range but on the low side. Free T4 is essentially at the extreme of the low end.

My physician remarked "they're OK"

Are they????????


Any thoughts appreciated.

I have to disagree...If you are having hypothyroid symptoms it could be the low FT4 level.
Did they test Free T3 also?
You can still be hypothyroid with your TSH numbers.

your tsh looks good.  i would monitor your symptoms and maybe get labs redone in 3 months to make sure.  but yes, your levels are okay.  

are you on thyroid meds?
