Results normal but low TSH

Hi,

I'm new to this board and was just looking for some advice on TSH levels. I've was diagnosed with Graves 2 years ago, I had RAI treatment and I've been up and down ever since. I just saw my consultant today and my T4 and T3 are coming down but they are still in the very top end of the scale and my TSH is really low but just within the range. My doctor says I should be feeling ok and it's a mystery as to why I'm still tired. He is reluctant to change my dose and I really don't know what to think. Just wondered if anyone had any idea if low TSH has a physical effect. I am unsure of where to go from here and worry that there might be another underlying condition making me feel unwell. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Lou

Hi Lou,


Welcome to our board.


By a low TSH, do you mean that it's very close to the hyper range?
