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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your thyroid may not be the cause of your symptoms and it may be prudent to consult a different doctor, preferably a cardiologist. Wish you good health!
