Dr. Michael Kleerekoper answered

T3 (liothyronine) and T4: 1: If you don't have symptoms please relax for now. 2: If your TSH was not measured it should be. 3: Your doctor should have sent you to the Radiology department for careful examination of your thyroid gland. If that did not happen ask for a referral to an Endocrinologist.
