Subject: possible thyroid problem?

Question
Hello, I have many of the symptoms of a thyroid problem. Shaking, anxiety, heart racing at times. I have been diagnosed with anxiety. However, I had my thyroid levels checked and my TSH was 2.21 and my T4 was 6.6. I read that some endocronologists think anything over 2 for TSH is possible problem. I just was retested and will have my results back monday. I also just recently started to have hair on my chin (embarressing) and my hair on my head seems like it is thinning. What do you think?

Answer
if you suspect hyperthyroididsm, t3 shoud be included.
if t3 is normal ,i don't think it's thyroid problem for your symptoms.
does your hands shake every time when you rise it horizontal?
try it after awaken after deep breath, if no shaken may be make you more relaxed not the thyroid problem.
what about your medication for anxiety, not better?
