Your results are very difficult to read - which is probably why you've had no responses. But, from what I can make out, your TSH is slightly high for someone on thyroid hormone replacement - should be 1 or under - well under if you're still taking NDT. But, the most important number, the FT3, there's no range for, so impossible to tell how good or bad it is.

You also need vitamin D tested and ferritin

You are on very small dose of synthroid.

Your a TSH likely too high. Most patients on Levothyroxine need TSH under one

Reverse T3 is high

There's no range on FT3- so impossible to say if this is good or bad

FT4 shows you have room for increase

But with high reverse T3 you may be better adding small dose of T3 (cytomel) rather than increase in synthroid

Very high TG antibodies. This is most likely due to Hashimoto's, but can be other conditions

As already said. You need vitamin D and ferritin tested

Low ferritin can affect breathing

Low vitamin D is extremely common with Hashimoto's

With Hashimoto's many of us find strictly gluten free diet helps

Might be worth a try for 3-6 months, if it helps stick on it

Ideally ask GP for coeliac blood test first
