Brief Answer:
Likely we need a second opinion

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, hi! this is dr. XXXXXXX here. welcome to HCM.
As of your queries, i will pick up the second part first.
See , i have gone through your lab reports. Monocytes are normal. A below reference range monocytes is not something to worry.
second part, low t3 & t4 with a normal TSH at your age are unusual.
probabilities are
1. lab error
2. lab error
3. lab error
4. we may think of pituitary problem.
so first confirm your reports by another good lab and this time please check FT4 and TSH.
do get back to me with fresh report.
regards!
