These are my thyroid testing results. Please can anyone analyse this and explain to me.

Total T3
0.75 ng/ml (normal range 0.85-2.02)

Total T4
5.4 ug/dl (normal range 5.13-14.06)

TSH
2.04 uIU/ml(normal range 0.27-4.2)

It is dangerous and can lead to death, only if you don't get the hormones.  If you get on medication, you'll get the hormones you need and you'll get well.  You will need to be on the replacement hormones for the rest of your life, because your thyroid does not function properly.  

See your doctor today and get the hormones.

You need to ask your doctor for Free T3, Free T4 to better test thyroid function.  Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOab), Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb) will determine whether or not you have Hashimoto's.  Pituitary hormones, Prolactin, ACTH, Growth Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) will determine if pituitary function is adequate.

You're fatigued, because your thyroid is not producing enough hormones to keep you going.  You will need to be placed on a thyroid replacement hormone that you will have to get as a prescription from your doctor.

It's typical to start out at a low dose of around 25 mcg of a T4 medication like Levothyroxine and increase as needed to alleviate symptoms.  You need to start on medication quickly, to start getting your levels up.

You will need the pituitary tests to determine deficiency in other hormone levels and may need to supplement those, as well.  

There's no need to be frightened... just get your doctor to order the testing and prescribe the medication and you can go from there.

Unfortunately, Total T3 and Total T4 aren't as useful as Free T3 and Free T4, but your TT3 is actually below the reference range and your TT4 is on the floor of the range, meaning your thyroid is not producing enough of the hormones.  

With hormone levels this low, we'd expect your TSH to be higher than it is, since TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone... This could be indicative of a pituitary issue.

At any rate, do you have symptoms of hypothyroidism?  Has your doctor started you on thyroid replacement medication?  

You should ask for thyroid antibody tests to rule out Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.  You should also ask to have other pituitary hormones tested.
