Wife of 54 has a low tsh of 0.01 and high ft4 of 19.5 -diagnosis is hyperthyroidism. could it be a pituitary problem - no weightloss or other symptoms?

Pituitary unlikely: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, What you described fits in with Graves Disease.
