Help with test results

[DisCBR]

So I decided to check my blood before starting a trail of 50mcg of Levothyroxine. I tested at 6.20 am compared to my usual later time of 10am. I’m confused because the morning before I ended up in A&E from taking too many pain killers and they tested my blood around the same time. My results are greatly different and I’m wondering why in such a short space of time? Also does my most recent test mean I’m actually have overt hypothyroidism and no longer subclinical?

22/4/24 TSH 5.68 (not sure of range, NHS) T4 15.1 (11 to 25)

23/4/24 TSH 11.7(0.27 to 4.2) FT4 15.5 (12 to 22) FT3 5.3. (3.1 to 6.8)

I was shocked to see the difference in a day and I’ve never had TSH over 10 before.

sub clinical implies no symptoms

And many/most people who get diagnosed when “technically” subclinical have numerous hypothyroid symptoms
