Tests -- TSH high

19 year-old female. For many years, I've suffered from stomach pains, constipation, heartburn, and lack of appetite. Weight normal. Recently had battery of blood tests with following results out of range:
GGT, ALP low
LDH high
TSH (5.0 uIU/mL) high
T3 (239 ng/dL) high
(fT4 normal)

I thought I might have thyroid problems because of my eating/stomach problems. What does the high TSH and T3 show? What about the LDH?

It seems that the T3 is the total. The ranges I got are also on-line at http://www.thyroidmanager.org/Chapter6/Ch-6b-2.htm, so they are probably correct. The FT4 is 1.50.

Yes your TSH is high....your t3...is that free T3? If it is then you are low not high. When you say normal for FreeT4 what was the exact number?
Please look at your ranges on your lab sheet and post them here for the Free T3 and Free T4 so I can show you where you should be within the "normal" range.
