Hi everybodysmile 

I was just diagnosed with moderately severe hyperthyroidism but my doctor hasn't figured it out the cause of it yet. I gave birth 5 months ago and my levels were in the normal range during pregnancy but about 3,5months PP I started to get hyperthyroidism symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, anxiousness etc. Went to the doc and my levels were through the roof. Got prescribed Mercazole and Propranolol and at the moment my levels are like this:

T4 34.7

TSH 0.03

T3 9.9

They also tested me for antibodies and the results were like this:

Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase 28 (normal range is under 60)

Anti-Thyroglobulin 208 (normal range is under 60)

What does this mean? Why is one of the antibodies so high up?

My doctor said he doesn't know what it could be, he said it could be Graves or a viral infection. 

Can somebody help me with these results?

    Thank you for all the replies, I really appreciate it smile ! I am seeing a specialist in 2 weeks time to find out what is wrong with me.

    Also, forgot to add my TSH receptor antibodies results (TRAb), they were 0.10IU/L  (normal range is under 0.55).
