Question

Please tell me if this is cause for concern..

Hi,
I just recieved the values for my thyroid test. My TSH is 1.93 and my T4 is 7.9. The doctor told me there is no cause for concern and sent me on my way even though I have the symptoms of a hypothyroid (cold, overweight, missing eyebrows). Is everything really ok, or should I go to another doctor?

Do you have your T3 number?

There are more extensive thyroid tests that can be done. Insist on further tests if you feel you may be hypo.
