Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi all, I wrote a few weeks ago querying my husband's dose of levothyoxine (50mcgs). He has been on Amiodarone, after a mitral valve replacement in 2003, which meant that eventually his thyroid was affected and he was put on 50mcgs thyroxine about two years ago. As I felt that he was too tired and too cold we got his blood tested but as it was in range then the FT3 was not done by the lab. Here are his results which I think are rather high. What do you think? Peroxidase antibodies= 5 (<35), serum FT4= 20 (12-22) and TSH 2.14 (0.3-4.2). As he has a mechanical heart valve I can't see his GP changing his thyroxine dose if his levels are " in range " . He's also on Warfarin and hypertensive drugs. Many thanks for any suggestions....
