A member asked:

My tsh levels are normal, but my free t4 is low...hypothyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pituitary evaluation: If the TSH is normal, it means that you do not have primary hypothyroidism. However, you could still have secondary hypothyroidism because of a pituitary problem. You should see an endocrinologist for further evaluation.
