Please get yourself along and have the breast/underarm issues looked at by gp.it does not sound thyroid connected.

261 is Low, however the increase is good which is what they are looking for (200 min increase)

Did the breast pain etc come on after the test ? You should deffo get it checked out but I had similar a day or two after, with a blue/green discharge, which is apparently a hormonal imbalance although the doctor had never heard of it before (nothing new there!)

Deffo get checked though

As cupi says don't worry about those results for now, just get your breast problem looked at asap.
