Thyroid Blood Results

4 replies

RichTeaAreCrap · 21/08/2014 13:41

am no expert in understanding thyroid results but have recently had some bloods taken to see how mine is performing due to several symptoms.

My results are
TSH - 1.03
T3 - 5.3
T4 - 20.6

Do these sound normal results or is there anything that would link in to any issues with my thryoid?

The above may be of some assistance to you as would their website.

Difficult to pass any informed comment without the reference ranges, but I would tentatively say they look OK. However, there is not really any such thing as 'normal' where thyroid results are concerned. What you are looking for are the results that are right for you.

If you are experiencing non-specific symptoms which could ponteitally be thyroid related, you probably need to get serum ferritin, a full iron panel, vitamin B12, serum folate and vitamin D tested and correct any deficiencies there. That can make a huge difference to how you feel.

Thanks Rockin. The results do fall within the normal ranges. However I don't feel right and do have lots of symptoms that make me doubt what is wrong and convince me it is thyroid related. I will ask for the tests you mentioned to see if they will check everything else.
