Results blood. Test 19/9 tsh 0.03(.35-4.74)ft411.8(9-19)ft3 3.7(2.6-5.7) glucose 4.7(3.0-7.0) vit D 105 B12 550(150-883) folate 6.4(3.1-20.5)
I am puzzled as to how the ft3 is now lower than in previous test (was 4.2) when I am taking exactly the same dose????
Also ft4 is slightly higher (was 11.1 and tsh is now 0.03 whereas before is was < 0.03.
Any ideas what is going on?
The only thing I have changed is the time I take Bisoprolol. I used to take it in the morning and at the time of the test I was taking it in the afternoon.
My last dose of t3 was 4.30 the day before the test. Blood test was 8.15 am.
Also does anyone know if taking holy basil at night can actually lower the morning cortisol. As morning cortisol was 385 and previously was 526(15-6)
Thank you

TSH rising will reduce FT3 level. Time of day when testing will affect FT3 levels which like TSH are highest early in the morning and decrease later. Seasonal temperature also affects levels. FT4 being higher than previously means that there has been less T4 to T3 conversion. Any one or all of these factors can affect levels without a dose change.
