Have I got Hypothyroidism?

3 Replies

I am new to this forum. I have Just had my routine bloods back from the doctors. I asked if I could have hypothyroidism as I feel so tired and cold all the time. I also have missing hair from my eyebrows. I was told that my results were normal and that I was cold because of my age. [I am 62] All my other blood tests were normal.

TSH 2.75, [0.4-5.0mU/L]

FT4 16, [9.0-25.0 pmol/L

I would appreciate any comments.

The TSH suggests that your thyroid is beginning to struggle as do your symptoms.You really need to have tested FT3, the two antibody tests,also folate ,ferritin,D3 and B12"

Do you have close relatives who are hypothyroid or who have autoimmune diseases?
