A member asked:

I was told that i have high thyroid levels what can this cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please clarify: Hi. "High thyroid levels" is ambiguous. Is your TSH high? Is TSH suppressed and free T4 and free T3 (liothyronine) high? They are very different conditions (hyper- vs. hypothyroidism). If you can give us some lab values, perhaps we can help. Good luck!
