Maybe both!: This is a confusing picture. High TSH suggests you are hypothyroid, possible even with "normal" T3 (liothyronine) and T4, but fast metabolism/feeling warm are symptoms of hyper. I agree with Dr. Gliksman that this is suspicious for thyroiditis. There might be other factors affecting your symptoms too. It would be reasonable to consult with both a thyroid specialist and integrative doc for further evaluation.
