Headaches: MRI could show some abnormalities that are not seen, or are difficult to see, on CT scan. Your doctor knows your entire clinical picture, and is in the best position to guide further testing. However, it is your right to seek a second opinion if you do not feel confident in your current doctor's care.

Hi! I got lab work from my doctor. Both the T4 Total (7.0) and Free T4 (1.5) I think are normal. TSH is 0.47 and T3 is 73, which I think are both low--should I see an endocrinologist with these results? Do I need CT or MRI to check anything further?
