Special instructions
From the expert
Raised levels of TSH can indicate that the thyroid is struggling to produce sufficient quantities of thyroid hormones and is underactive, whereas low levels can indicate that the thyroid is producing excess levels of thyroid hormones and is overactive. Symptoms of an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) include heat intolerance, weight loss, heart palpitations and breathlessness, while common underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) symptoms include fatigue, weakness, weight gain, slow heart rate and cold intolerance.
The TSH test is often the first test for evaluating thyroid function and/or symptoms of hyper or hypothyroidism.
