Verifiedthis could be the thyroid and it might be temporary or not depending.
By borderline...what was the TSH value?
By borderline...what was the TSH value?
Same.
TSH goes low with hyperthyroidism and high with hypothryodism, because TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce hormone.
So, below .3 is hyperthyroid and above three is potentially hypothyroid.
3 to 5 is a questionable range but with any symptoms, hypothyroid.
Over 5, hypothyroid.
Good luck again

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
