Suggest Treatment For Hypothyroidism
Due to an enlarged lymphnode in my throat (discovered when an ultrasound was completed to diagnose a goiter), my doctor ran a full cbc and other tests to try and determine what is happening. I am exhibiting classic signs/symptoms of hypothryroidism, but TSH was 3.38 and FT4 was 0.7, so he didn't feel any need for concern. Would aneamia, as suggested by my cbc count (HCT 38, HGB 12.9, RBC 4.19, PLT 283, MCV 90.7, MCH 30.8, MCHC 34) explain the hypothyroid symptoms? (Specifically - heavy mentrual bleed, irratic menstrual cycle, dry skin, itchy scalp w/hair loss, increased weight gain and inability to lose weight, feeling cold)
