I lost 25 lbs in the last two months. Should I get my thyroid test?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and saw the results which you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and it appears to be an absolutely normal thyroid function test results.

As your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is within the normal range, your thyroid function is normal. The slightly high T4 is not responsible for your symptoms since it is just a variable component, so as long as your TSH is normal your thyroid function is normal. Although you have impaired blood sugar levels, since HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) is normal therefore just diet control will help. Take low carbohydrate and low-fat diet with daily 30 minutes of walk. You could benefit from a prior ECG (electrocardiogram). I would suggest taking tablet Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily for your tachycardia and anxiety. It will decrease your heart rate to normal levels and help you with your anxiety as well. Try also to do yoga and meditation daily.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, what I mean is the TSH and that is normal. However, what you mentioned right now TRAB is the antibodies to the TSH receptor binding which even if high does not mean a thyroid gland dysfunction.
