TSH - 3.778
(These tests results were done while taking 25 mg. Synthroid.)

Oh wow. I'm out of my league now and don't quite know what to tell you.
The TT4 is high enough in its range that it may or may not be OK. I'd still rather see a free T4 test in this case.
But the TT3 is above range.... I'm not sure how that happened, since your TSH is still so high. This is unusual.

Besides Synthroid and Ziac, are you taking any other meds, or have any other health conditions that may be altering the tests?

I hope some other members will join in here to suggest some possibilities; I'm a bit stumped now.

No, the only other thing I take is Zantac for Acid Reflux Disease and I only take that at night. I also have high cholesterol. Do you think it's possible that the Synthroid altered my test results?

Hi jjones lm hypert my blood pressure is high something like 180 over 113 last week lm taking beta blockers too waiting to start the actual treatment my doc told me he gave me beta blockers to protect my heart as the over production of thyroxine is making everything works faster and harder my kidneys are now super efficient but my liver is poorly ?they are also supposed to help with anxiety. amongst other things ........ l am now on 1 3 times a day cos boy after a few days of taking them l felt desperate!! even though my doc said l would probally need stronger dose (before l felt ill off them and went to hosp im ok) hope you get sorted soon love niecsey xx
