I forgot to take my Levothyroxine tablets for 5 days would a blood test be abnormal

Colebatch133
I forgot to take my thyroxine medication away with me on holiday over Christmas and therefore missed 5 days. I restarted as soon as I got home on the Wednesday, but had my regular TFT the following Thursday (8 days).
Would the blood test show any abnormalities??

It might affect the blood test. You should inform your endocrinologist so he/she can take this into account when interpreting the results.
