I am a 27 yr old female grad student. in the past year my thick hair has thinned considerably (self-conscious!). had blood test and saw derm. everything ok except TSH levels were 4.
8- told this was in normal range but the new recommendations advise not being above 3.
0. I do have hair loss, scratchy eyes, and severe tiredness. I feel something is off with me despite living a very healthy lifestyle. I also fit some hyper symptoms though in that I have always been thin and have now began sweating too much!! my mom was recently found to have extreme damage to her thyroid and body as a result of thryoid problems. how do I go about finding out if I am developing a thyroid problem when my doc says the level is normal??

 At this point, really the best thing for you to do would be to have a repeat TSH test in a few months (2-6 months). Also, you should have a free T4 level tested.
Best wishes.
