Hi,
Your TSH appears to be elevated probably due to hypothyroidism. So i think your T3 and T4 levels will be low. You are anemia probably microcytic hypochromic. All other levels appear normal.
I would not recommend any test without having the whole report and the indication for it. There are numerous tests, that can be done.
If your metabolic panel is also high, a strong renal or liver function test is necessary.
Do you have difficulty in swallowing or vomiting blood? Why Upper Gi endoscopy?
If you give me more details, i will try to help you.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
