I have been suffering from a few symptoms that i believe are due to underactive thyroid. The main one is fatigue - it is starting to interfere with my daily life. In addition to that, the texture of my hair has become extremely brittle/dry and breaks a lot, my tongue is swollen and scalloped, and my face is puffy. I have NOT had any weight gain though.
I went to my regular doctor with this and she tested my TSH, T3 & T4. These are the results which she said are normal. I am considering making an appointment with an endocrinologist though because from what i have researched my numbers are borderline. Can someone please tell me, based on my results, whether or not it's worth making this appointment?
TSH = 2.43 (range 0.178-4.530)
T4 = 1.15 ng/dL (range 0.80-1.73)
T3 = 270 pg/dL (i think this is 2.70 pg/mL when converted) - unfortunately there was no range for this one
They are all within the ranges posted but to my understanding a TSH of >2 and a low T3/T4 are suspect. Thoughts?
I appreciate it.!
