Help understand blood test

I had a blood test & was told I have hyperthyroidism. 4 weeks on Carbimazole then another blood test. Went back for results yesterday so asked for a copy. Back in 4 weeks for another blood test. I was also prescribed Propranolol yesterday as I'm still feeling hyper which isn't good with my other problems.

Any advice on these results is appreciated, thanks.

Some of your images are unclear & I have removed one of them, as it was showing part of name & NHS number.

Might be easier to type in results. It’s often easier for members to read without deciphering the added codes.

How much carbimazole & propranolol are you currently taking?

The levels will still be setting after 4 weeks as can take longer for a dose to take full effect, at least 6 weeks of an unchanged dose, propanolol will also have an impact on levels.
