Are there any thyroid experts out there? I recently sent off blood sample for testing my thyroid as I've always been told it's 'normal' but didn't know what my levels were and I have a number of symptoms (some mild, some less so) that make me wonder if all is right in that department since I had my DS almost 4 years ago:
Anyway, symptoms are:
Very low resting heart rate despite not being an athlete (40BPM)
Lowish blood pressure since pregnancy with DS
Tired a lot despite getting plenty sleep
Could fall asleep at any time of day
Feel the cold
Often dizzy when I stand up
Hair much dryer since having DS
Long heavy periods & shorter cycles since having DS
Unexplained secondary infertility...
(Which is obviously why I'm investigating everything so manically!)
Anyway, blood test came back in normal ranges but when I looked around online I see that they could be considered outside 'optimal' range...
see attached image. can anyone tell me if a doctor would help with this or tell me I'm fine and to go away and stop worrying..??
My Results are:
TSH: 1.46 mIU/L
Free T4: 15.22 pmol/L (1.1824 ng/dL)
Free T3: 4.62 pmol/L (3.0076 pg/mL)
Thanks!
