Hi. I had a hemithyroidectomy 8 weeks ago. Luckily benign nodule. Had TSH measured 7 weeks post op. It was 2.66. Feel lightheaded if I’m walking or have overdone it earlier in the day and just don’t feel quite right. Experienced PMS for first time too. Bit emotional. TSH before op was 1.45. GP says thyroid fine as within normal range.
Is it to early to ask to see an endo?
Help.

You need more than your TSH tested - as explained to you by SlowDragon in an earlier post of yours. Understandably it is a worrying time for you so it would be good to focus on optomizing your vitamins and minerals and having the correct tests done.
If you cannot find your earlier post - let me know. 😊
Thanks. Found it really hard to get GP to listen but she has at least agreed to do another TSH and a T4 (which they didn’t do last time) in a couple of weeks but pretty sure she won’t prescribe anything as “going by the book”.
Are you in a posituon to have tests done privately ? SlowDragon gave you the links and information in her Reply to you 22 days ago. That way you will have the FULL story and fight your corner in a more informed way. When you have the results create a new post and people will comment. Do you have Hashimotos ?
