A member asked:

I'm on lithium for 2 months now and my blood tests shows a rise since in use on my cholesterol(215 mg/dl) and tsh(14 uu/ml), is that hypothyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need thyroid panel,,: This isn't hypothyroidism technically, you would need a thyroid panel to show low free T4 also. According to your profile, you've got hypothyroidism and your TSH is apparently high, so a low free T4 would show if your thyroid was underperforming, so see your doctor and get that thyroid panel. Best of luck.
