Confusing diagnosis

Blood test results show low T4 but within range TSH but on the low end. My GP actually said due didnt know what to do with these results as I have symptoms of hypothyroidism but TSH should then be high. She started me on Levothyroxine but after a bit of research myself I'm wondering if this is not my thyroid but something else affecting the thyroid. Does anyone have experience of this and can advise? Thanks!!

If you post the results, with their reference ranges, members will be able to comment and help you. Without the results it's not really possible to give a meaningful reply.

Need to include the reference ranges, as labs differ.

Reference ranges please, as mentioned, these vary from lab to lab and interpretation of your results depends on them.

Hello again, so I have my results and they are;

TSH 2.07 (0.27-4.20)

T4 10.9 (11.0-25.0)

There is a line under these results that says serum folate >20 ug/L >3.0 not sure if that's relevant?

Not what you're looking for?
