I have been to the Dr's for Thyroid Checks - basically as experiencing some symptoms of Hypothyroidism: tiredness, shortness of breath, low resting heart rate, weight gain but on a diet/exercise daily, also have Vitiligo. GP stated that all my tests were normal. I therefore got a private test as the GP didnt test for antibodies , only TSH Levels. My results came back normal range for everything except my Thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), which were 6 times the recommended range.
I re-visted my GP with the results and they contacted an Endocrinologist who said these tests were 'irrelevant' and it does not mean i have a thyroid problem. So I am now bring sent to a cardiologist to check re my low heart rate and shortness of breath symptoms.
I am not convinced that its a cardio issue as already had a full ECG which was fine, albeit a low resting heart rate.
Also feel disappointed that Endocrinologist thinks my high tgAb are irrelevant? surely its not normal for them to be this high?
Any suggestions what I do next?
