Have you been diagnosed with Graves Disease? Or Hashimoto's? Graves Disease is always associated with hyperthyroidism. Hashimoto's is, typically, associated with hypothyroidism, but is often characterized by hyperthyroidism in the beginning stages.
Have you had antibody tests to confirm either of these diseases? To diagnose Hashimoto's, you need Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOab) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TGab). Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI) is the definitive test for Graves Disease. If you haven't had these tests, ask your doctor for them. You need all 3 in order to make sure you get the right diagnosis.
What's your FT3 level? What symptoms do you have? Just having a low TSH doesn't make you hyper.

Discuss it with your doctor as there are thyroid pills you can take to help if the levels are outside of normal.
