Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not ER: Best will be to call your endocrinologist or your PCP, whoever is treating your hyperthyroidism and ask for a sick visit. In ER emergencies will be ruled out and unless there is an emergency, you will be discharged with a recommendation to see your treating doc.

A member asked:

I am being retested for hyperthyroid. In June, my T3 (liothyronine) was normal but not my TSH and T4. The retest calls for TSH and T4 free. Should T3 (liothyronine) be included?
