Repeat tests: There is an entity called thyroiditis which initially can cause thyroid gland to excrete increased amounts of thyroid hormone. As inflammation progresses gland can become normal. With further passage of time can become hypoathyroid, too little amount of hormone.

Autoimmune disorder: Graves and Hashimoto's are both autoimmune thyroid disorders. Classic Graves is hyperthyroid; classic hashimotos is hypothyroid. But you can have both coexisting in the same thyroid. If you have a goiter and positive TSI antibodies, it is possible your thyroid could become overactive at some point in the future, but it may be subclinical now.
