None of your results suggest overactive. TSH is in range, just because one FT4 was over range doesn't confirm overactive.

See what the TSH receptor antibodies test comes back like.

What concerns me soon as i started the propranolol you could see the levels drop do they affect your blood results?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to France92]

I don't know enough about that, sorry.

Yes propranolol can affect thyroid levels

How much propranolol are you currently taking

Drugs that may decrease PTH include cimetidine and propranolol.

Discuss with endocrinologist

You can’t stop propranolol suddenly.

Must be weened off very slowly

I will do the propranolol has helped with the tachycardia i have and awful adrenlin day and night i have. Which the dr in hospital told me are symptoms of overactive thyroid. I even been to see a cardiologist in the summer because of my heart and he picked up it going fast all the time but didnt know why??

have you had cortisol levels tested?

Propranolol will have reduced/affected levels

[France92 in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes it was bit low so my Gp re did it since on propranolol its normal level. I have a salvia kit to do had it a few weeks but i dont sleep well so struggling to do the first one when you wake up within half hr as i sleep terribly on and off. Also the endrocolgist blood test said cortisol and i dont know their results
