Hi saw A GP this morning who would have instantly refered me to the Endocrology clinic however i am not her patient but one for a Senior GP in the practice. Currently i have a TSH of 8.6 where in May i had one of 0.04. I had Bariatric curgery a year go in Jan that plus the reduced reading lead to a reduction in my Levothyoxine from 225mcg to 200mcg. However i have been under some stress due to a grievance i have placed at work, and the stress could ALSO come from the high TSH reading. What concerns me is the sudden change in the reading when i am restless, unable to sleep without waking up 5-6 times a night, of course i am tired as well, not surprising if i am not sleeping correctly plus my thyroid is not functioning correctly. However despite the high TSH reading my blood pressure was great 128/90 and a pulse of 62 DESPITE the abnormal TSH reading, she admitted she would have expected them to be higher considering.
So instead of getting a referal to a thyroid clinic, i get a referal to see a psycoanalyst to determine if this is purely stress from work or medically induced.
I am not sure where this is leading buy i am extremely concerned that after a reduction my TSH is well out of the normal range for me (1-2);
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this MIGHT have happened? i realise i have to wait for NP gp to call with a plan of action ect but i would like to know what questions i should be asking
