Is there a T3 and blood pressure connection?
We recently purchased an at home blood pressure reader. When I have tested in the evening it is high at around 150/90 which is worrying. I had to do an at home blood test this morning so held back on taking my thyroid medication. I took my blood pressure a few times within half an hour of getting up

Blood test this morning
I have got a blood test at 9.15 in private clinic setting. I took t4 at 6.15 yesterday morning. Do I take the t4 now before blood test as may be false low? Previously high t4 after taking thyroxine (NHS) and also after MMH finger prick test (without taking t4). Thank you for any help and advice.

Hashimotos & FT3. Advice needed - Rock bottom - About to try Thybon (poor FT4- FT3 conversion).
Hi Everyone, I have been supported a lot by this community already. Thank you. I am a 39 year old male, living in Ireland. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2019. I started Eltroxin at that time. I started on 25mg, and increased to 50mg at the start of 2023. I generally eat well, and exercise

Update
Hello everyone. Just a little update but first of all I’d like to thank you all for your help over the last few days whilst I was having a meltdown. I’ve had my bloods done this morning before I took levothyroxine but they wouldn’t test for vitamin levels, just calcium & thyroid levels. I had an appointment

blood test shows high ferritin
just had blood tests done because I have pain in my right pelvic area. Come back with high ferritin. Mines 200 and should be below 150. I googled it and don’t really understand it. Can’t get an appointment with GP for 3 weeks so has anyone on here ever had this result. I’m a bit anxious about it.

Advice for blood test timing & last doses (staggered doses + mistimed t3 history)
Two questions.
1) with staggered Levo dosing … best day to test
Current titration was FROM 100 Levo a day (700 a week) to 112.5 a day (775 a week.) Since I only have 100s at this time, I split them in quarters and added 25 on Mon, Wed, Fri: Mon Tue Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun 125 100 125

Blood test with reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies
What companies might be best for this test please? however, need a blood draw not a fingerprick draw as it doesn’t suit me.

Total thyroidectomy
Hi everyone. I had a total thyroidectomy 5 weeks ago today and was wondering if anyone else has had the same operation that I can ask questions about. I felt fine after surgery for around 2 weeks but then hit a brick wall, I was tachycardic, sweating, shaking, palpitations, felt woozy etc and I think

cortisol blood test tips?
Any suggestions to adhere to for ‘9 am cortisol’ blood test being done at 7.40 tomorrow? I believe it is regarded as Addison’s or not, and nothing in between, so is there nothing that can be suggested to Gp if low but not too low? Did a private saliva test test some years ago now( pre covid) it was

T3 only and heart rate
Hi all, I was started on liothyronine only 6 months ago and it has been life changing. It has resolved 4 years of debilitating symptoms, including chronic fatigue. I have faulty D102 and am a poor converter. I was finally taken off levothyroxine following abnormal ECG and tachycardia. I had a scan and

Underactive thyroid and Pine pollen
Hi I have had an underactive for almost 3 years now and I take Eltroxin 75mcg mon-fri and 50mcg sat-sun but have not seen any results with weight loss. I am still fatigued and still picking up weight, almost 30kg's in 3 years which is not helpful. My blood test results come back normal so I am not sure
