Thyroid issues?

I know people have posted about thyroid issues before. 

I had my routine annual with my gyno last week, and blood work shows I am on the borderline of being hyperthyroid. She said this might explain some irritating symptoms I've been having like mild tummy trouble and insomnia.  She also said that my prolactin levels were high, but still technically within the normal range. 

Has anyone else experienced this? She said it's nothing to be alarmed about but they are going to retest everything in a month when I am fasting.

Re: Thyroid issues?

  • I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in January. I've never had any typical symptoms for, it just came up on IF bloodwork. I know I can be related to insomnia. Have you had any increased energy?

  • @apt8113 my energy level seems pretty normal. I do seem to get hungry a lot, but that could just be a fast metabolism and not related.

  • I was in the "normal" ranges when they tested through my OB.  The RE put me on synthroid because it was higher than they like to see in pregnant women.  He said my borderline levels were not the reason for my IF, but that they wanted to prepare my body for pregnancy, since the thyroid has to work harder during that time.
