Question

My dr said i had high numbers for my thyroid, t3 was 221, my t4 was14.1 help?

Answer 1

Usually they go by TSH, but it is good that they are checking your t3 and t4 too.  www.about.com has some great thyroid information.

Answer 2

If your doctor says your thyroid hormone levels are high, s/he must have also given the solution.

There are anti-thyroid medicines. Yuor doctor will prescribe them, you take those and live a happy life. Only some people in some cases need their thyroid removed surgically. Don't worry yourself sick!

I assume you are a young female. Young women have a higher tendency to have hyperthyroidism, or high thyroid hormone secretion. Relax. You're not alone.
