: The person to call is the doc who ordered the test and treating you -for these symptoms need investigation. Good luck. this level of TSH is normal

Question 2

in my blood test my tsh(thyroid stimulating harmone) is showing 5.8.so i wan to know what it indicates and what are its side effects and what precautions must i have to take?

Accepted Answer

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you are likely to have thyroid deficiency and may need medication to replace the hormone.    
Wish you good health!

Question 4

Question 5

what does medium range mean with a thyroid blood test, tsh, ft3 and ft4 is it good or bad?

Accepted Answer

"Normal": I suspect "medium range" means normal.  You really should discuss the results of tests with the doctor who ordered them since there may be particulars in your case so that "normal" is not normal.

Question 6

can you still have thyroid problems that the  basic tsh blood test doesn't show? is the full tsh blood panel better?

Accepted Answer

Easy to get tests: A good quality, sensitive TSH will usually indicate whether you are hypothyroid or hyperthyroid.  However, pituitary disease, certain drugs and other conditions can mask this.  It is easy to get a ft4 and T3 (liothyronine) as well to confirm the results of a tsh, if there is a question.

Question 7

i'm 27. my blood test showed low tsh, and total t-3 and free t-4 are both high. what symtomps should i be having? i dont feel classic thyroid symptom

Accepted Answer

Need results: It would be helpful to have the actual values from the lab tests. What symptoms do you have? Do not be concerned about the symptoms you should have. Please note that all laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that.

Question 8

i took a thyroid blood test tsh with reflex and read my test results it said my result was 1.94. it read the range was 0.30-3.60 is my results normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. A TSH value of 1.94 is normal.

Question 9

i took a thyroid  blood test tsh with reflex and read my test results it said my result was 1.24. it read the range was 0.27-4.20 is my results normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is normal: You have no cause for any worry related to your TSH level.

Question 10

if you have thyroid cancer will your tsh level in your blood test be bad?

Accepted Answer

Usually not.: Tsh controls how the thyroid makes thyroid hormones.  Tsh levels change in response to hormone levels.  Thyroid cancers don't make thyroid hormones, so TSH isn't usually affected.  Tsh itself is a hormone that can stimulate some throid cancers.  One goal of thyoid cancer treatment is low TSH levels.
