Secondary Hypothyroidism
Share your pattern to get feedback
Your levels indicate that you may have secondary hypothyroidism. This is created by a failure of the pituitary gland to send enough signal telling the thyroid to produce hormones. The resulting low TSH (indicating hyperthyroidism) leads to the thyroid under-producing hormones (creating hypothyroidism).
This calculator certainly does not represent advise from a medical professional–seeing a specialized thyroid doctor can help you address the chronic stressors that may be causing the fatigue of the brain's pituitary gland.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Low
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH, is the hormone responsible for controlling hormone production by the thyroid gland. TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions.
Free Thyroxine (fT4)
Normal to low
Free T4 is the predominant hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Level of this fluctuate when individuals have an over or under active thyroid gland.
Free Triiodothyronine (fT3)
Normal to low
Free T3 is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Levels of this fluctuate when individuals have an over or under active thyroid gland.
Reverse T3 (rT3)
Normal
Reverse T3 (rT3) is a biologically inactive metabolite of thyroxine (T4) formed by selective deiodination; the active thyroid hormone T3 is formed by removal of an iodine atom in the outer ring of T4, while rT3 is formed by removal of an iodine atom in the inner ring of T4
