TSH at 0.01?

I'm hoping someone can help me out here.  I got my test results back and it says that my TSH is very low at 0.01 but my T4 is just barely in range (on the high end).


I've been looking online to see what's considered low and I'm seeing numbers like 0.5 etc and obviously from my test it shows quite lower.  Is this normal for hyperthyroidism caused by Graves Disease, etc?  I mean normal for it to be that low given the diagnosis?


Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm new to all this and just trying to figure out how to make sense of everything.  TIA.

Hi Jen,


Yes, you can have a TSH that low.

My doctor mentioned something about using a beta blocker but for right now they are holding off on anything until I have the thyroid uptake scans and ultrasound done next month.
