Help with blood test results

Hello

I've had various blood tests through my GP and have been waiting for feedback on the results for a couple of weeks (I've left a couple of messages). Urea and electrolytes (I think) have been marked as abnormal by the lab but 'no further action' from my GP. I can't see anything abnormal in the results but wondered whether I'm missing something? Pics below, and thank you anyone who can help.

It probably seems like I'm grasping at straws, but feeling like death and desperate to get to the bottom of it. GP isn't being very helpful and totally dismisses anything that's just outside normal ranges.

Most of your results are normal but your FSH levels are very high. Unless you have already gone through menopause you should not have FSH of 102 iu/l. By your reports I am guessing you are worried about your hormonal issues. If you are under 40 then discuss your FSH levels with your GP.

Thanks for replying @Literallyfedup - I'm post menopausal (periods suddenly stopped age 42), so I guess the FSH levels reflect that?

My GP has now got back to me, and it was my early morning cortisol result that was abnormal (low). I've been referred for further testing through endocrinology.

I am glad your GP has finally come through for you and wish you all the best with your referrals.
FSH test are an indicator of menopause and I hope you are taking post menopausal vitamins specially calcium as you are at higher risk of osteoporosis because of early menopause.

Thanks @Literallyfedup - I've been taking HRT mainly for bone protection (though have to stop that now for cortisol testing), as I don't feel any better for taking it. Diet is pretty good on the calcium front so I should be ok!
