What Causes Low Thyroid Level?
My test results are as follows, I have not heard back from my doctor yet and am getting impatient TSH 0.005 T3 4.65 T4 1.60 I used to take medication for Hypo/Hashimotos but stopped a few years ago for no good reason. Just recently got my blood drawn and would like to know why my TSH is so low..it never used to be so low.

Hi,
Thank you for choose Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
I see that you have low level for all thyroid hormonal level, it happen when the cause is the nonfunctional pituitary gland that didn’t secret TSH that stimulates the production of T4 and T3 from the thyroid gland, and this is call pituitary hypothyroidism(secondary hypothyroidism).
One that can block the secreting TSH by the pituitary gland is thyroid hormone synthetic replacement that is used for hypothyroidism.
I recommend you to do a head magnetic resonance and follow this problem with your endocrinologist to determine the exact cause of your hypothyroidism.
Hope I give answer to your problem. Feel free to ask me again
Take care,
Dr .Marsida JANKO
