Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My
TSH
is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

Levo and hair loss
We don’t have recent labs as yet, however his
TSH
6 months ago was higher than when he was first diagnosed 5 years ago! Is their any evidence to support him asking for t3 combo? Do different brands affect people differently? Any advice would be appreciated.

Latest results and changes to regime.
And at my last test my
TSH
was too low to register whilst my T4 was 22 so well above range. T3 not recorded. I have also reduced/monitored carb intake more so than previously.

Latest blood results
My
TSH
has been pretty static for the last 3 years at 0.03 - 0.05 with my free T3 & T4 levels being OK, in the mid range. I've been feeling pretty tired lately with little energy and was due my 6 monthly blood test which I had a few weeks back.

Suggestions regarding the elimination of hypothyroid symptoms
TSH
1.34 miu/L (0.38-5.33) Free T4 8.7 pmol/L (8.0-17.00) Free T3 5.5 pmol/L (3.8-6.0) I’ve learnt that ideally my
TSH
should be below 1.0, which mine is not, so wonder if I should have my Levothyroxine dosage increased?

thyroid results
My results in June were
TSH
0.82 and T4 18.4 - Back in November 2022
TSH
was 4.93 and T4 13.8. Neither my GP or endo tests for T3 (except in May 2023 when it was 4.6 pmol/L) or my vitamin levels - I am in the processing of trying to request these.

Please could someone comment on my results, should I be concerned?
I get palpitations (ectopics) but have had them throughout the year when
TSH
was high and they don't seem to have increased. Should I be worried about these results or looking to lower levo? I'm currently on 75mcg, am gluten and dairy free.

Cholesterol again
I haven't been taking my thyroid meds religiously as I usually do and my
TSH
has gone up. So, I will get on the case. I am on 75mg which is usually more than enough to keep my
TSH
around 1.5.

Hashimoto help
I have all the symptoms of Hashimoto disease and finally felt like I had some answers, however my GP has dismissed me saying that as my
TSH
is normal so nothing to worry about. My concern is we are about to start IVF, should push for follow up or carry on?

Anyone have MY GP app?
, advanced test
TSH
, T4, T3, TPOAb and TGAb, so surgeries refuse to appropriately monitor and test but must obviously benefit from some form or reciprocal agreement from these private providers.

Hello folks
But looking back at past results I found I have had several bordeline
TSH
(low) results and 2 well below level FT3 blood tests. I am wondering if this pattern of symptoms has been experienced by any folks here? As my set of symptoms are a funny mix!
