Hypothyroidism

[Frtfcxdgg-1]

Hi, I am new to this forum and I have a few questions for some experienced people. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and they also felt a knot in my neck. I had a biopsy done and thankfully it wasn’t cancer, but it was a colliad nodule. They chose to not remove it. They also said my THS and FT3 and FT4 was in range so I didn’t need medication. Two weeks later it was time for my wellness exam with my Primary doctor sent me to due blood work and said that my THS was low and my FT3 was low and put me on 5mg of Armour Thyroid.

My THS was 1.06

FT3 was 1.68

Three weeks ago when I had my biopsy done

My THS was 1.51

FT3 was 2.29

FT4 was 1.0

I am confused. Should I or should I not be taking the Armour Thyroid. How one doctor said yes and the other said no.

Thanks for any information that you can give me.

Can't give you very much information at all without the ranges that go with those results. Ranges vary from lab to lab, so we always need to see them.
