I have been high blood pressure particularly whenever I pass through stress and when I eat cassava meals. There are other symptoms that I have been battling with for more than a decade. These are the symptoms: Chronic fatigue, weakness including on the nerves, Loss of hair, itches on the skin, tiredness, insomnia, increased weight gain, hotness on the tip of the right fingers. I have visited hospitals many times and they keep treating Malaria and typhoid without any progress. I have done HIV test 4 times and the last in December 2012. All symptoms remain the same.
Arrising from my research, I concluded running a test on thyroid functions.
This is the result: Free T3: 9.8 Reference range:7.2 - 16.4 pmol/I
Free T4: 5.3 Reference Range: 3.8- 6.0 pmol/I
S-TSH: 1.15 Reference Range: 0.37 - 3.50 mIU/L
From the result, do I have a problem with my T3 since it is close to the reference limit.
Please from this result do I have a problem and what should I do?
Or are the symptoms highlighted above linked to other problems?
