I mentioned that the TSH is 5.53. He requested the further test because he was suspecting that I might have underactive thyroid. I got the result of T3 and T4, I called the doctor office and his assistance told me that the T3 and T4 was fine. I am a kind of worry that I don't know what kind of the problem would that be because TSH was above normal but T3 and T4 are within the normal range.
My doctor is off this week, I made the appointment to see him next Thursday. I don't have very obvious signs of underactive thyroid. What I have notice is the explained weight gain, hair loss, dry and coarse skin, brittle nail.

Hi Caper2002,
When you go in and see the doctor, ask for your test figures and the lab's normal ranges so you can see where you fit in.
