So here are my bloods I’ve just done at A+E due to my chest pain and such issues. This is what they found with my thyroid. So yes I’m stuck where to go, I got my some of the results wrong but something clearly is wrong.
the left is most recent.
The results are.
TSH: 0.02 (0.8-5)
T4: 30.8 (11-21)
T3: 9.4 (1.6-6)
This is what I’ve been told and such.

tbh dreadful. Body pain, palpitations, chest pain, more anxious and irritable than usual. No I never get em mixed up like maybe once have I ever taken like 150 instead of 125mg but that was ages ago. I just don’t know what’s going on.
vitamin d and folate dreadful. Like 32mmol (needs to be above 70)and 2.7ng/L(needs to be above 5. Ferritin is 14 (range 10-30). B12 is like dead in the middle haven’t got the figure
Going by these reuslt you would benefit from a good methyl B complex. This B complex has all the right vitamins at a not unreasonable cost for 90 days supply. amazon.co.uk/Liposomal-Soft...
Speak to GP about ferritin and D3. A ferritin of 30 or less is deficient according to NICE and your GP should prescribe iron tablets. Take them 4 hours apart from Levo.
Gp may want to retest but vit D is dficient and they should prescribe loading doses.
While your thyroid is having a hyper swing it will really help you to get vitamins right. In their own right each deficiency has symptoms.
they are far too high and will definitely be causing you to feel unwell , so yes you do definitely need to reduce your dose.
and you need to take the same dose every day from now on , otherwise it will be impossible for anyone to work out what is going on with your thyroid .
this 'extra' T4 /T3 may be coming from your thyroid (eg if you have hashimoto's , this sometimes happens for a short while. and then levels go down again by themselves) , but you can't tell if that is what's happening if you don't know what dose you've been taking consistently.
since your the T4 / T3 levels are so high and you are having symptoms of overmedication , i would suggest that you :
~ Take NO levo for a few days ~ to allow T4/ T3 levels to drop a bit quicker.
~ and then resume taking 100mcg daily .
~ stick to that carefully for 6 weeks and get retested.
Yeah sorry I read wrong results for the FT4 and FT3. Then results are from 2 days ago. The doctor has said stop for a week then start 100mg and test in 4-6 weeks. She said the palpitations and chest pain seem to be caused by this.
I asked in your last post if you have Hashi's, but you seem to have deleted the post. Those results look very much like a Hashi's 'hyper' swing. As Tatty says, this is only temporary and the levels will go down by themselves. So, have you had your antibodies tested?
If I were you, I'd stay off levo until you feel hypo again. A week will probably not be long enough. And, when you do go back on levo, you will need to go back onto the full dose you were on before, not a reduced dose, because you will be just as hypo as you were before.
What have they told you about the chest pains and palpitations? I have Atrial Fibrillation and also belong to that forum. If I can offer anything helpful please say. I know that thyroid issues can lead to heart arrhythmia. Almost certainly how mine started.
the doctors don’t know at all, but due to my many heart tests they are pretty sure it ain’t heart related. They think the palps and chest pain is from my thyroid levels and need to see if they settle down.
