What does borderline low T4 and normal TSH mean?
TSH is short for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. This is produced by the hypothalamus. When T4 levels (which are hormones produced by the thyroid) are low, the hypothalamus produces TSH to tell the thyroid to start producing T4. Thus, the hypothalamus is really a regulator for the thyroid. An indicator of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease is raised levels of TSH and low levels of T4. In Hyperthyroidism or Graves disease, the T4 levels will be elevated and TSH level will be low. Common symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, intolerance to cold, hair loss, fatigue, muscle pain, goiter, depression and constipation. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism are weight loss, anxiety, intolerance to heat, hair loss, fatigue or hyperactivity, muscle pain, depression, diarrhea, tremor, and palpitations.
