The number you have given is an incomplete question. There are many tests used to find thyroid dysfunction, and all their numbers and normals will be different.
When looking at your lab sheet, there will be a test name, a *normal* value, and your result. Use the two numbers to help you compare to see if they are within normal values. Use the name to create discussion about your results.
*HINT* Thyroid normal values on a lab slip will not necessarily be YOUR normal value. Physicians look at the number and your symptoms to determine treatment. Both must be considered equally.
Thyroid function - Hypothyroidism. A low level of thyroxine and high level of TSH indicate an underactive thyroid.
Hyperthyroidism is the condition of abnormally high thyroid hormone levels.
The "normal range of TSH is 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/mL. A TSH level that is above that range would be considered "high". The pituitary produces TSH to tell the thyroid glands to produce more thyroid hormones. If the thyroid glands to not respond, the pituitary produces greater and greater levels of TSH. A TSH level that high indicates that there is something significantly wrong with the thyroid glands, and the patient should be prescribed thyroid replacement hormones.
A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is an initial test used to determine how your thyroid is functioning. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland isn't making enough hormones, causing hypothyroidism. Conversely, if the TSH level is low it indicates an overactive thyroid, known as hyperthyroidism. The TSH normal level range that most physicians refer to is .3 to 4.5.
When the level of the thyroxine increase, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone decrease. So in turn the level of the thyroid hormone decreases. When the level of the thyroxine decrease, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone increase. This in turn increase the level of the thyroxine. This explanation does not explain to how the level of the hormone is regulated at that particular level. But then this explanation satisfy most of the people.

will thyroid produce calcitriol when calcium level is above normal
by definition its unlikely to have BOTH hyper and hypo thyroid symptoms. get an endocrinologist and get a thyroid ultrasound
According to the American Thyroid Association, T3 (Triiodothyronine) tests are useful in diagnosing hyperthyroidism and the severity of it. This is because patients who are hyperthyroid have an elevated T3 level.
Yes this is very high. The references are 0,35-4,94. It means your thyroid gland is overproducing - hyperthyreoidism
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the signal that the brain sends to the thyroid to tell the thryoid how much hormone to make. Markedly high levels are almost always due to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Mildly elevated levels are often normal.
It is a controversial area. The upper limit of normal TSH values is 3 or 5 depending on the different recommendations made by different professional thyroid associations and on individual labs. So, a TSH level of 3.09 is usually considered normal but it may sometimes be seen as too high. It definitely isn't considered low. If you are already taking thyroid hormones for hypothyroidism and you still feel unwell then increasing the dosage may be justified. However, if you live in the UK and haven't been diagnosed with hypothyroidism even if you have thyroid antibodies then good luck trying to persuade anyone to prescribe T4.
