Does anyone understand thyroid levels

4 replies

So I don't really understand thyroid levels that well. I have Graves' disease but following radio iodine therapy my thyroid became under active, my levels can jump around a bit but usually go under making me tired and foggy.

For the past few weeks I have had all the symptoms of being overactive, rapid heart rate, tremor , excessive hunger, anxiety, insomnia my resting heart rate is 150 and I feel really hyperactive. I have been prescribed beta blockers for my heart rate.

Anyhow I am convinced I am over active but my blood tests show

Tsh -12
T3-3
T4- 15.5

Which seems to be under active which can't be right I am the opposite of tired?

Your blood results show high TSH and normal T4 and T3 which points to subclinical hypothyroidism. Your symptoms are puzzling though OP. When were these bloods taken? Has your medication changed since? When did the symptoms start?

I've had these symptoms for 9-10 weeks really weird as usually when it's under active I sleep lots, feel really groggy when I'm feeling now extremely hyper active with physical symptoms. My medication has always been 150mg levothyroxine a day no changes 🤷‍♀️

I recommend posting on the thyroid forum on Healthunlocked- they are experts over there
