Sijan, do you have the ranges for the above results. At first glance it wouldn't appear you do have a problem with thyroid gland. In the meantime this is a link from Thyroiduk.org.uk which may be helpful.

Ranges are

TSH:0.465-4.68

T3:2.77-5.27

T4:0.78-2.19

Sijan,

Your thyroid results are euthyroid (normal). You don't appear to have an under active thyroid causing sweaty and cold hands and feet.

But my T3 result is 5.90 which ranges from 2.77-5.27 is it normal?

[Clutter in reply to Hidden]

Sijan,

Sorry, I missed that. It's not very common to have FT3 over range when TSH and FT4 are normal. A possible reason is an autoimmune attack on your thyroid gland which causes transient thyrotoxicosis as thyroid cells are destroyed and dump hormone into the blood stream.

Your FT3 isn't wildly over range but you should keep an eye on it. I suggest you retest in 3 months to see whether it has risen and whether FT4 and TSH have changed. When you retest ask for thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies to be tested to rule out Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism.

Ok thankyou very much

[rosetrees]

What other symptoms do you have? Did they measure your thyroid antibodies?

[Hidden in reply to rosetrees]

No they didnt

[rosetrees in reply to Hidden]

Go back and ask them to. What other symptoms do you have?

[Hidden in reply to rosetrees]

I dont have any other problem...

[rosetrees in reply to Hidden]

In that case I'd consider other things, such as Vit D deficiency or Vit B12 deficiency. What other tests has your doctor done?

[Hidden in reply to rosetrees]

I havent done other test...but i consult with dermatologist and he says its hyperhydrosis...he gave me alldry lotion but it didnt stop sweating in my hands and feet...its been 14years of sweating in my hand and feet

[rosetrees in reply to Hidden]

Telling you it's hyperhydrosis is stating the obvious. It doesn't tell you what is causing it.

[Hidden in reply to rosetrees]

What should i do now?

[rosetrees in reply to Hidden]

As i said above, I'd start by getting your Vit D and B12 levels measured. Then do some online research to see if you can find other, potential, underlying causes. Sadly, we all have to become our own detectives.
