New blood test - please help with interpreting

[Evej13]

Hi All,

I have been on 150mg NDT for the past several years. This winter I felt hypo and raised it to 157.5 for about 3 weeks. I also had a UTI and broke my arm this winter, so have had some stress.I started feeling hyper with high heart rate and BP. I don't have any blood test results from the 157.5.

I reduced my thyroid meds to 120mg for a day, then 60 for a day, 30 for a day and then 0. I have my blood test results, taken yesterday.

FT3 3.94 (ref 3.9 - 6.7)

FT4 15.9 (12 - 22)

This is now very low, but it may not be very accurate as I was on that reduced rate for 5 days. Was it thyroid at all? How much do symptoms lag behind blood results. Argh....

I think should try 90mg today and see what happens?

Has anybody tried beta blockers and ativan for these symptoms temporarily?
