I'm seeing a brilliant cardiologist atm as I have POTS, also Hashi's for 25 years. He icked up that my cortisol is a bit low which wouldn't be helping my tachycardia/palps but looking at the result it wasn't actually below range, it was taken in the afternoon. I'm pretty non functional with weak legs, tachy, very slowed and he's said I need to have it rechecked at 9am. I'm taking liquid Levo - can't tolerate the tablets. What do you think t results?

Jaydee1507,
TSH is suppressed, FT4 mildly over range and FT3 is less than half way through range. You'd possibly feel better with higher FT3 but not many endos would approve increasing dose which would further suppress TSH and raise FT4 higher.
CRP is over range which indicates inflammation somewhere in the body. I can't comment on CK and cortisol.
