Does High T3 Indicate Hypothyroidism In A Person Who Has Bipolar Like Symptoms?
My son is 17 y.o. and his TSH is high and his T4 is normal, but his T3 uptake is High, he has severe bipolar like attitude, can t sleep at night and he is extremely fatigued. He coughs every morning till he vomits after he eats because he feels like there is something in his throat. This has been going on for three years. His father was diagnosed with Graves disease when he was 22. I was wondering what I should have ran next to see if he has thyroid CA, hypothyroidism, goiters, etc. or is this an adrenal or pituitary gland issue. It confuses me that if he is hypothyroid why is his T3 high not low.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
These problems as you mentioned with reports suggestive of hypothyroidism.
For further diagnosis you have to check for,
-Free T3, Free T4.
-Anti-TPO antibodies.
-USG of Neck for thyroid scan.
Allopathic treatment is not a permanent solution for thyroid problem, because this problem is connected with many factors in physical and mental sphere like stress anxiety, shock, etc. and allopathic treatment is nothing but only suppliment of thyroid hormone. That's why in allopathy, patient have to take medicine for life time.
Homeopathy can cure thyroid disease without any side effect, any let you free from medicine after a course of treatment.
It is necessary to understand detail case history for permanent cure.
Homeopathic medicine can be selected after analysis of detail case history. So if you want proper homeopathic treatment for permanent cure then consult to homeopath near by you or contact me.
I think i can help you and you will be free from this disease.
Have a better health.
