A member asked:

I have rare hyperthyroidism. not showing in my tsh..just my free t4.. i had a mri to make sure no tumor. what medicine will help my hyperthyroid. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? hyperthyroidism: It is unlikely that you have hyperthyroidism if you TSH is normal. Free T4 is not always diagnostic. Check a T3 (liothyronine) level, if normal hyperthyroidism is unlikely. You probably don't need medication. Check w/your doctor.
