my cardiologist said there is a degree of hyperthyroid that he thinks is causing tachycardia my heart can go 145 just standing but not pots .my doc says only t4 is over range so not worried despite heart rate sweats insomnia. my cardiologist disagrees . what do i do do i find a doctor more willing to look into things . i had a thyrogglossal cyst removed in 2014 so have scarring . i have also had iodine scan for above operation . all this is being ignored because only one thyroid level came back abnormal . my t4 is 219.9 range 64.5-142.0 free t4 19.17 range 12/22 my tpo abs 32.5 range <34

Ktmannie,

Free T4 is a better measurement of T4 than total T4 and your Free T4 is within range which doesn't indicate hyperthyroidism. What are your TSH and Free T3 levels and ranges?

they are in range . i have a nodule they found but said was ok during scan for my op three years ago . could this be the reason for high t4 . my blood test may be in range but i feel far from normal .

Ktmannie,

FT4 is also in range so it's not high and you are not hyperthyroid. What are your TSH and FT3 results?
