Tsh 136.57

Hi was diagnosed hypo last month, just got levels of my Gp and have been looking around and I am surprised to see how high my Tsh is. My T4 was 6.9. He has got me on 50 mcg Levothyroxine and I am looking forward to it kicking I'm because I feel like crap! Does anyone have any advice about dealing with this, I thought  the weight gain, depression and mood where because I had stopped smoking (8 months) never thought it could be my thyroid or lack of it x

Hi the only thing on the print out are the TSH and  it says Serum free T4 LO 6.9 pmol/L (10.0-20.0)sr. There is no T3 there, I have another blood test in he first week of December so will ask for that then.

Hi, what are your reference ranges?
  Did you get Free T4 and Free T3 done too? T4 on its own is just showing you have the hormone thyroxine in you, not showing how much is available for your body to use.

Yes, I get BAD palpitations when my TSH rises anything above 1! I was 11.99 recently and thought my heart was going to give out!

Also does anyone else get palpitations with this? I have had them for a while now and think the thyroid is to blame?
