Too much cortisol can also interfere with the conversion from T4 to T3.
When one has a thyroid problem and exhibits thyroid symptoms then the doctor thoroughly checks and diagnoses the condition.
The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
A TSH over 10 mIU/L has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, which is why you' will probably want to seek treatment if your TSH is close to (but still under) that upper limit
TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make. If the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland makes larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder.
