Help with test results please

Hi I recently had partial thyroidectomy & had tests done 2 weeks ago TSH 1.47 (0.35-4.94) and FT4 11.4 (9.0-22.00). I have been feeling worse with headaches, light headed, tingling legs & feet from knee downwards including really cold, fatigue etc. I had more blood tests today with a more detailed thyroid panel so should get results on Thursday when seeing endocrinologist but would be grateful for some advice to go with. Are my levels normal or is the FT4 on the low side & may be causing hypo symptoms? Thank you for your help

You might be experiencing temporary Hypocalcemia after surgery. You should ask to have your calcium levels checked.

Hi,

you really need to know your T3 level,if that is o.k. then it doesn't always matter if the T4 is on the low side.If they haven't already tested this then you need to ask for it to be tested.

Not what you're looking for?
