Help with thyroid test results
I just received my results back and they are
T4 17
TSH .0025
T3 3.2
I went to a doctor for another reason and she said to see my primary doctor. Is this something that needs to be treated? What happens if I don't?
TIA

Your TSH is slightly low and your T4 is elevated. Could be an indication of Graves Disease or Hyperthyroid. They will likely send you to an endocrinologist.

This.
You need an endo who will order more specific tests. Thyroid Function, Antibodies, Etc.
I was Hyperthyroid for years. I have Graves, Was on meds and then had to get Radioactive Iodine to destroy my thyroid. I am now Hypoothyroid & on Synthroid. Easier to treat w less side effects from meds.
Good Luck
