Bloods And Test

[Ami]

Not possible say what TSH should be for you - the reason ranges are given is because it's different for everyone.
However, It is possible to say that your reading is on the low side of the acceptable range.
And perhaps low-ish for a 41 year old male but genetics and lifestyle has a big effect, so can't say that with certainty.

OK, I will keep an eye on this and see of it increases by the next time I'm tested. Thank you

There are various reasons that can happen - like if you've been sleeping poorly, fasting, dieting hard to drop bodyfat, doing a lot of cardio, under a lot of pressure/stress, abusing alcohol/drugs, taking some other form of medication etc.

Men tend to bounce back from thyroid issues faster and more consistently than women do, so I would expect your reading to improve as your lifestyle improves.
If you try to improve your lifestyle but the readings don't improve, then the probability increases that there is a medical issue.

Yes, I've been under a lot of stress lately and sleeping is not great, usually late nights and them awake early.
So should this increase and by how much roughly? I was taking meds for copd and then went for the test and was told there is no copd! Awaiting an Asthma test, but I've got a feeling it's all to do with low test and Dr's are just not looking at that.

Have you spoken to your GP about the throat and sickness issues?
Your GP should address those immediately.

In terms of how to self-medicate, that's not straightforward (or cheap).
And I'm slightly concerned about some of the other issues you've mentioned.
Your GP needs to assess those first before you do anything - I'd advise you to put more pressure on your GP first.

Before you attempt to self-medicate for low test or low thyroid, you should be confident that you don't have any other medical problems - particularly cardiac.

In your case, the best approach might be to intentionally wreck your readings so that they come in below the acceptable range and therefore your GP is forced to treat you. That might involved a prolonged fast for example (7 days).
But you need to get the other concerns addressed first.

Yes I've spoken to my Dr but nothing has been done so far had bloods etc, n had a throat test a long time ago was told nothing wrong, but just keep feeling sick at times? Any ideas? Could this be related to low T?

I've had an ecg and everything is fine apparently so not looking at cardiac issues as far as I can see, should there be any other tests should be looking at here?

Can I ask what you did to self medicate? I won't try anything till I get further tests anyway, Dr has referred me to private medical which I have to see a urologist so hopefully should be able to shed some light on low T area? Or if anything else is causing it?

Thanks for all your advice so far
