Impossible to tell, because you haven't had the right blood tests, I'm afraid. You need the FT4 and the FT3, not the Total.

Also, when giving blood test results, it's imperative to give the ranges, because they can vary from lab to lab. :)

Total T4 and Total T3 are not the right tests, as Greygoose says and I listed all the tests you need in reply to your previous post:

TSH

Free T4

Free T3

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

and we need the reference ranges to interpret them as ranges vary from lab to lab.

Are you in the UK? It's rare to see Total T4 and Total T3 done in the UK.

Remember that all blood test have to be at the earliest possible, fasting, and allow a gap of 24 hous between last dose and test and take afterwards.
