Blood tests

I had some blood tests a month ago which I've only just called up about. The drs receptionist went through the liat saying normal ok to most but then rattled off a load of abbreviations I think "Pfh"?? Serum 4 was on the low side of normal and the non thyroid illness thyroxine was the lower end of normal and I needed a

repeat test in 3 mths. Does that make any sense to anyone? I was going to ask her clarify but she said the dr had asked me to make a review appointment so I'm going in the week after next (once the new term is under way) any help appreciated

It sounds like she was giving you the values and the ranges- so TSH for thyroid etc. It sounds like a good plan to see the GP to get some more info though and if you are symptomatic but at the lower end of the range might be worth asking to start treatment anyway as the range should just be a guide.
