Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Your T4 level is high and you have family history of autoimmune disease. You can take anti thyroid medication like propylthiouracil or methimazole. But before that your T3, T4 and TSH level as well as anti thyroid antibodies should be done. Then you can start accrording to advise.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
