Results confusion

Hi. I wonder if someone could please have a quick look at my latest results as I'm a bit confused.

I'm on 75 mg throxine and 10 mg T3.

Latest results. I am feeling slightly over active (hear heart beat in my head ) but I've been told to either increase my thyroxine or increase my T3 to 15 mg which is preferred.

Im not sure about this as already feeling bit jittery. I've double checked with clinic and this is what they want me to do. Any thoughts?

Well, you've got plenty of room to increase your T3, your FT3 is not even mid-range, and most hypos need it in the top third of the range at least. And, it could be that your strong heart beat is due to your low T3 - it's not an exclusively hyper symptom. I would at least try it, if I were you.

Are your nutrients optimal - vit D, vit B12, folate and ferritin? They need to be for thyroid hormone to work correctly. :)

Are you feeling better? did the heart beat your were hearing in your head go away? is the T3 increase going well?
