A member asked:
If my tsh is low will i gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless you have a pituitary problem a low TSH usually signifies hyperthyroidism - and weight loss. You should ask your doctor to repeat the test (1/2 of low tshs return to normal in repeat tests) along with a free T4 and free T3 (liothyronine) index.
