Doctor today has put me in for more blood tests, including repeating all the borderline and high or low results along with a few extras. Not sure exactly what all of them will be but do know it'll include TSH and FT4 due to the last results I had of them. The test isn't until 9.40 Monday morning. Is there anything I need to avoid to make sure te reading is as accurate as possible? Any and all suggestions gratefully recieved.

Hello,
If you're on thyroid medication then don't take them that morning before the test as it can cause a spike in the results.

Not on medication. I take paracetamol for the pain, acid reflux tablets and was on anti-biotics, but they should be clear by Monday since they stopped on Friday. Just wondered if there was any food or drink I should avoid.
