Thank you for posting query.
presentation of High T4 with Low TSH. (Graves disease diagnosis mentioned without anti bodies status)
Firstly, a low TSH indicates "primary Hyperthyroidism". It is very UNLIKELY now that a pituitary tumor is there. "Pituitary tumor maybe ruled out".
antibodies result would give a clear picture of your current presentation.
and/OR you may need consider another treatment option.
now , in your case, if you have a clear diagnosis of Graves disease, you maybe take an advice from your treating physician for a
'Radioiodine therapy".
hope to answer your concern.
any further queries are welcomed.
