I'm a bit concerned after reading my report that suggests I have thyronormalcy. Does this mean I might be showing signs of thyroid issues? I've noticed my blood sugar levels dropping to around 75 sometimes, and I've been getting dents in my right leg. Plus, my vision gets blurry at times. Could these things be related? Should I be worried about any of this?
