Help with understanding thyroid result
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi I had my thyroid tested and was asked to come in to see the doctor which I did yesterday but the origional doctor i saw was unavailable and the doctor i saw didn't leave me feeling like I have answers. She wouldn't tell me my results and said that my test showed hypothyroidism but apparently my hormone levels are normal. She was unsure whether to offer treatment but after I ended up in tears explaining how rubbish I feel lately she prescribed a low dose of the hormone tablet (levosomething lol) 25mg and said to see How I go and to be 're tested in 3 months. I decided to call and request my results ager someone suggested I do this so I can track how I feel compared to the numbers. These are the results...
Ok I've called the doctor again with a pen and paper and these are the results...

Serum 3T4 - 14.1
Serum TSH - 10.88
Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibody - 262
Can anyone help me understand what this means. Does this mean i have hypothyroidism? Are these levels in the normal range?
Thanks

Thank you. Wish the doctor was more straight to the point like you lol I just came out feeling confused. She nearly didn't give me any medication.
