Hi Nat,

May I ask what thyroid meds you are taking and how much?

Your results are good. The reason the tsh has been highlighted is because it is below reference range. However, your ft4 and ft3 are fine. They are concerned your tsh is becoming suppressed and in danger of hyperthyroidism. BUT if you are feeling good and the fact that your ft3 and 4 are in range you've no need to worry. Many patients feel better with their tsh being lower than ref range. This info can be found in dr Anthony Toft "understanding thyroid disorders"

Hope this helps 😊

Thanks so much for you're reply, I am not on any meds, I have a lump that keeps flaring up every now and then at the front of my neck like a Adam's apple, I had a biopsy last year was fine. Had bloods done again last week to check thyroid levels. My mother has just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid too. Dr said no further action needed. But I have no idea what this lump is about it flares up when stressed too.

Sorry to hear that. Have you found anyone on here with similar issues? Definitely something to keep an eye on though since your mum has been diagnosed with hypert. And the specialist has no idea about the lump?
