What are your results Neil99 Can you post them, with their reference ranges. I'm wondering which of the tests are 'high' and the reason for retesting. If your TSH is too high then that's the reason for your consipation, tiredness and fatigue. They are symptoms of hypothyroidism and you need a diagnosis (if you don't have one already) and to be prescribed thyroxine. But most GPs wait until TSH reaches 10 before that happens.

Being shattered after the gym indicates that you are depleting what T3 you have, T3 being the active hormone(which all our cells need), which is converted from T4 the prohormone (inactive). It might be an idea to cut back on the exercise for the time being, wait and see the results of your next test.

Here's a list of signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_...

Could be a sinus problem? Or maybe an intolerance to dairy?
