We are a support group on this forum and not a replacement for your doctor who will interpret these results within wider parameters. All I can offer is that if these were my results, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over them.

I hope your meeting goes well with your doctor and if your symptoms persist perhaps you need further investigation?

This is a thyroid forum. There are no results for thyroid tests, which is what we know about. Was your thyroid supposed to be tested?

[Bob00752 in reply to greygoose]

The TSH is the only thing connected to thyroid and looks to be mid range. You might want to look at why some of the lipids are high. The tryglycerides can be reduced by avoiding trans fats for example though ask the Dr for their advise first.

Oh yes. TSH. Just noticed that. It doesn't look to bad. But, a TSH on its own tells you nothing. You need the FT4 and FT3 tested, too. Not to mention antibodies.

Are you on Levothyroxine?

Trying to get diagnosed with thyroid problem?

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4, FT3 plus TPO and TG thyroid antibodies and also very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Are you in the UK?

All thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. Do not take Levothyroxine dose in the 24hours prior to test, delay and take immediately after blood draw. This gives highest TSH and lowest FT4. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)

Wow wish I had those results on my blood tests they look fine, though as grey goose said you need more than TSH.
