What are the reference ranges for the T4 and T3 results?  Reference ranges vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own reports.  Also, were they Free T4 and Free T3 or were they Total T4 and Total T3?  They aren't the same tests and don't give the same information.

Also, what is the reference range for the Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)?  It appears to be elevated, which indicates Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, not sub-acute...

As far as I know, Ciplar is a beta blocker and brufen is the same as ibuprophen... please tell me if that is correct.  Are you still taking these?  Is that all you've been prescribed?

What symptoms do you have?

Normal range isT3: 50 to 200, T4 :4.4 to 10.8 & TSH 0.28 to 6.82. I am 55 years old. Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb) normal range is 0 to 60.
Above said tablets are taken for one month only against prescription.
Now symptoms are throat irritiation, constipation only
