This is something you need to take up with your endocrinologist. I urge you to do so.

standard ranges variety finding on the precise assay used, yet ranges are greater or less as follows: TSH ranges 0.40-4.00 T4 ranges 8.0-20.0 Your TSH is on the decrease end of standard for many assays (some have a decrease cut back of 0.50), yet your T4 is standard. maximum physicians would not supply any particular scientific shield this, yet particularly repeat the try in 3 months or so. A low TSH may well be indicative of hyperthyroidism - yet given the traditional T4, assertion is probable the main lifelike action.
