TSH Your TSH level is within the normal range. This is a positive indicator as it suggests that your thyroid is functioning properly. However, it's important to note that interpreting blood test results requires considering various factors and analyzing the overall picture. If you have any concerns or if you experience symptoms related to your thyroid, I recommend discussing them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. |

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, sudden weight gain or loss, mood swings, or feeling unusually cold or hot. It helps identify thyroid disorders that may be affecting your energy levels, metabolism, body temperature regulation, and overall well-being. Many people use this test when they suspect their symptoms are hormone-related but want concrete answers before seeing a specialist.
You should not have samples collected during or soon after receiving Heparin administration, as this can interfere with test accuracy. Otherwise, no special preparation like fasting is typically required for this thyroid test. Results are usually available within 7 business days, though additional time may be needed if confirmation testing is required.
This test measures Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free Thyroxine (FT4), the two key markers that reveal how well your thyroid is functioning. TSH shows how hard your pituitary gland is working to stimulate your thyroid, while Free T4 measures the actual thyroid hormone available in your bloodstream. Together, these measurements help pinpoint whether your thyroid is underactive, overactive, or functioning normally, which directly impacts your energy, weight, mood, and metabolism.
What this means
Your TSH is slightly elevated, which may indicate your thyroid is working harder than ideal to produce enough thyroid hormone. This can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, or difficulty concentrating, and may benefit from closer monitoring or lifestyle adjustments.
