Usually unless you stipulate that you get a complete profile the doctors, only get T4,T3 uptake, and TSH. The trend is to base every thing off of T4/TSH which is a big mistake. I have low thyroid and had to hassle for some time before I got the Doctors to test my T3. As it turned out my T3 was not being corrected by the T4 medication I was receiving. A lot of doctors have been brain washed by Abbott labs to believe that if you correct low T4 your T3 will be corrected. While high thyroid can cause low blood press Low thyroid can also cause low blood pressure.I know my thyroid was tested, but unsure if all tests for thyroid were done. If doctors do a general thyroid test does that normally mean they did the whole thyroid series?
