My most recent thyroid labs from yesterday:
TSH 6.100 (range .450-4.500)
T4 Free Direct 1.75 (0.82-1.77)
I am waiting on the T3 results which I know is what we really need to crack this puzzle but I couldn’t wait to ask- is it normal to have a high T4 and a high TSH? If the T3 is low, would this suggest a conversion problem? I don’t feel very well and I’m not sure why my TSH keeps going up even though I am taking a higher dosage now (was taking 120 mcg day then increased to 137 mcg about 3 weeks ago- we tested early because I have been feeling so bad- hot flashes, sweating, super anxious. Prior TSH was 5.06).
I think what I am also curious to know is could the high T4 be causing my hyper symptoms even though my TSH indicated hypothyroidism? I know that Hashi’s patients can have both types of symptoms but the sweating and feeling hot really freaks me out and my doctors don’t seem to want to link them.
