- A low TSH most often indicate that your thyroid is overactive producing too much thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) which causes TSH to fall, it's also called hyperthyroidism. The hormones affect pretty much the whole body causing a lot of different symptoms like:
- palpitations
- heat intolerance (like everyone is freezing and you're the only one who feesl like openening the window)
- increased bowel movements
- nervousness
- fatigue
- a bigger appetite but even though you eat more you usually don't gain weight or if you're on a diet you've noticed that the weight is dropping fast and easy.
It's treatable so there's no need to worry.
- A low TSH usually indicated hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid). Rarely is it a pituitary failure.
