My daughter having alot of problems lately.just had bloodtest results

Tsh 1.19 (0.27-4.20)

Ft4 13.1 (11.00- 22.00)

Doc says normal but daughter has lots of symptoms:

Palpitations,panic attacks, brain fog, nightmares, mood swings, lack of confidence, weight gain, IBS which she's had for a couple of years pins and needles in hands , breathless, tight feeling in chest and many more too numerous to mention , doc has given her clonidine to help with palpitations and she getting B12, ferritin checked next week. Any advice would be appreciated

Raventhorpe,

Results are euthyroid (normal) although FT4 is low in range. Make sure folate is tested at the same time as B12.

Thanks clutter I think they are checking folate as well, gp seems eager to help find out what is wrong.

Raventhorpe Why not get her to have a Blue Horizon test done? She really needs FT3 and antibodies tested as well to get a full picture. Vit D test wouldn't go amiss either and GP probably won't do that.

Did ask her if gp is testing vit D but she wasn't sure, he is testing lots of things she had a well woman check and all came back in good except cholesterol is a bit high, told her that often happens when you have thyroid problems, but test is normal thou t4 is a bit low in range, I will try and get her to do private bloodtest as I still suspect there is something not right with thyroid somewhere, but it's taking me a month of nagging her to get her to ask for bloodtest in first place. I think she putting a lot of symptoms down to menopause as she is at that age.
