I have extremely low TSH hormone. Does it mean that I have a thyroid disease? I have heard that it is not treatable and causes a lot of weight gain. Is it true in my case? For reference, I am attaching relevant details from my report. Thyroid profile: T3 125, T4 8.4, TSH 0.08.

Low TSH may indicate early hyperthyroidism. It does not cause weight gain. It is manageable with proper care. Do the required thyroid antibody and repeat function tests.

My thyroid function test shows TSH of 4.90?microIU/mL. I have been experiencing hair loss for the past two months, and my hairline has receded significantly. Could this hair loss be due to my thyroid levels?

I recently had a thyroid function test (T3, T4, and TSH) done, but I am not sure how to interpret the results. My report shows T3: 0.52 ng/mL, T4: 4.70 microgram/dL, and TSH: 2.36 microIU/mL. Could you please tell me if these results indicate a thyroid problem or if they are within the normal range?
