Possible thyroiditis: Some labs are not very reliable in doing thyroid levels, so it may be that you are using a poor lab. If you think the lab is reliable, then you may have underlying chronic thyroiditis. This is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid. Depending on the amount of inflammation of your thyroid, your thyroid level may fluctuate- sometimes low, normal, or high. Getting thyroid antibody level would help.
