Not sure what you mean by "do I have to resend everything?"  I would like to have a look at your last set of thyroid related tests results, along with reference ranges shown on the lab report.  If possible, try to also get the test results from the time just prior to that also.  If not available, no problem.

There is more than one possible cause for acid reflux, but certainly being hypothyroid can cause it.  I have been though it myself and it went away as soon as my Free T3 and Free T4 levels were adequate.  So, how about we have a look at your thyroid related tests, along with their reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, when did you start on the Armour Thyroid?
