Question: My level THS (thyroid) is it normal!?
I just had my blood taken and my test results were 3!.351!? Is this normal!? My doctor says it is, but I want to double check because thyroid disease runs in my family!.

Answers:
the new standards for tsh are !.3 to 3!.0 so you are a bit hypo!.!.!.!.but some doctors still use the old numbers which were up to 5!.!.!.so that part depends on how you feel!. What kind of thyroid disease!? tsh is not going to tell you if you have hashimotos, or cancer!.!.!.!.you would have to look at antibodies for hashimotos and tg levels rising for cancer!. if you have nodules, enlarged thyroid, etc, then get a referral to an endo for an ultrasound!. also, so that you don't get worked up over something that may never bother you, you really need to educate yourself about whatever your family had!. I suggest mayoclinic!.com or www!.thyca!.org (thyroid cancer site) or endocrine web md!.!.!.!.even with breast cancer, if it runs in the family, your percentage chances of getting it may be higher, but it is not a guarantee!. hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
