Hi, I posted on the cholesterol community and they told me to post my blood test results here. This is what was in my post over at cholesterol:
Hi, I recently had a blood test at work and haven't had chance to take the results to my GP yet. I should start by saying I have a family history of heart disease/problems. My maternal grandmother had a stroke in her late 40s and died of a heart attack aged 54. My mother is displaying signs of what could be early heart problems (she's 48) but she refuses to go to the GP so we may not find out until something happens. I am 21 and female.
I'm not sure if thyroid can affect any of that but hopefully somebody can tell me. Thanks
I've added my results as a photo.

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.
All thyroid tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, GP will be unaware)
If antibodies are high this is Hashimoto's, (also known by medics here in UK more commonly as autoimmune thyroid disease).
About 90% of all hypothyroidism in Uk is due to Hashimoto's. Low vitamins are especially common with Hashimoto's. Food intolerances are very common too, especially gluten. So it's important to get TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested at least once .
Ask GP to test thyroid antibodies and vitamin D
If GP unhelpful cheapest test for just vitamin D is vitamindtest.org.uk £29 postal kit
Medichecks or Blue Horizon can test TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus BOTH TPO and TG antibodies
Hi thanks for your helpful reply! I should have mentioned sorry, I recently had a Vit D test and was found to be deficient at 33.7 (50-250) which I am taking meds for, and a few months ago my folate level was 2.3, its higher now because I also had medication for that.
Is my T4 a bit low? I thought it was basically in the middle of the range and that that made it normal. I will have a look into the private testing, thank you
Oh and also you're right, the GP won't even glamce at my B12 level because its in normal ranges. It was 167 in February which was only just above the range, but no mention of it just that it was normal. Although I'm sure they were supposed to recheck it if it was borderline but they didnt.
If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 3-5 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results
