Accepted Answer

Subclinical hyperthy: A low TSH with a normal T4 and no symptoms is usually subclinical hyperthyroidism.  She may have a multinodular goiter that is autonomously functioning, or very early graves disease.  A T3 (liothyronine) level and free T4 level should be checked.  There is a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation despite the normal T4 level, but many endocrinologists would just follow her levels for progression.
