Can flushes around my body and tingling be caused by thyroid problems? I have blood test and TSH is high? What could it be?

High TSH can be hypothryoid (likely), but you'd need to know free T4 and free T3 to be sure. tingling can be low B12 (really important to be above half way up the range or you can end up with permanent damage).

What are your lab results, with ranges?

I experienced flushes, sweats and tingling (felt like tiny electrical shocks) prior to diagnosis of Hashimoto's. Tingling and numbness can also be a symptom of low B12.

If you post your thyroid results with lab ref ranges we may be able to help you.

You should ask your GP to test your ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate as hypothyroid patients need these high in range. Ask for a printout of your results and post them for comment.
