Hey Guys. My T4 is always low, for years. And I am always tired. But MY TSH has always been normal. My prolactin is also also slightly elevated by about 6 points, for the past 10 years.
I went to a new doc and she decided to try me on 50 mcg of daily levothyroxine. I just tested 8 weeks in, and my TSH crashed to .032 while my T4 is now slightly in the normal range. I am reading that very Low TSH can end to dangerous heart problems. I am tempted to just stop the levothyroxine but read that can also be very dangerous. I need some advice. Also, I never had high sugar and here my glucose spike to 138. Although this was not a fasting test and I ate 2 hours prior. My labs are below.
Labs 8/22/19
Free T4 .97 (normal .78 -2.9)
TSH ultra sensitive .032 (normal .465 to 4.6)
Glucose 138
Labs 1/5/19
TSH 1.7
Free T4 .60
Glucose 95
