Can High Levels Of Hormone T3 Cause Weight Gain?
Age:33
Height: 5.25 feet
Weight: 53kg
I have an overactive thyroid. My T4 Textroxin medication was increased due to this. I have also been taking 50mg of Eltroxin. My last blood result, taken 3 days ago reflected high levels of T3. What does this mean? Is it possible to gain weight and experience fatigue due to low T3 levels

Hello I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that you have hypothyroidism and you take treatment in the form of eltroxin daily.
High levels of T3 doesn't cause weight gain.
Los levels of T3 however can cause weight gain and fatigue.
Hope you find my advice of some benefit.Good luck.
