Overactive thyroid

Would any of these blood test show if I’ve got an overactive thyroid? I had these test done a while ago because I’ve been having irregular periods and I’m only 25 the doctor said they was normal so didn’t do anymore and referred me to a gynaecologist which there’s a long wait for, I also had a scan which came back normal. But recently I’ve been reading about the overactive thyroid and have got a few of the symptoms (not diagnosis myself over internet) but because my blood tests came back normally does that mean I haven’t got a overactive thyroid or is there other test they do for it that they didn’t test me for?

Looks like there is a thyroid function test on there. That's what they test mine with. You would know if it were overactive. When mine went overactive, my resting heartbeat was over 100bpm and I had the shakes quote badly.

Your level is 0.97 and the lab considers normal range to be between 0.3 and 4.2, if TSH is normal they generally don’t do any further tests tbh.
