Strange Test

[renobbvd]

Hello,

My TSH came back at 1.66 uIU/ml.  T4 was 4.1 ug/dl.  T3 Uptake was 49%.  Free Thyroxine Index was 2.0.  

My symptoms are: dizzy (kind of like riding in a boat), tired (can not get a good night sleep), can't seem to "get over" issues easily (don't know if it depression), raspy voice at times, more than usual phloem in the throat, cholesterol is up 25 points in a couple of years.

Weight is not a big issue.  Gained fifteen pounds last year, was able to loose it.

Thank you.

Your TSH looks good -- the actual range for TSH is 0.3-3.0, even though some labs use different ranges -- they are outdated.  What is the lab's reference range for the FT4?  There are different ranges depending on the method used for running the test.  Did you have a Free T3 test?  I don't see a result or reference range for it.  

Also did you have any antibody tests done to see if you have an autoimmune issue?  You would need to get TPOab (thyroid peroxidase antibodies) or TGab (thyroglobulin antibodies) done for that.  

It would also be helpful if you have an ultrasound done to see if you have nodules, etc.

I am currently not on any meds.  NO history of thyroid problems.  They only question is do the test results I have given reflect a problem; a problem that may explain why I am feeling they way I do?

According tot he lab, My T4 is low, and the T3 is high.  TSH is on the lower end of the normal scale, the index is on the lower end of the normal scale.

Thanks
